This National Reconciliation Week, join us for a screening of Wik vs Queensland. This landmark feature documentary tracks the lead up to the 1996 High Court decision to grant native title to the Wik Peoples of Cape York, and the demonisation that followed at the hands of politicians and media.

With unique access to the key players of that moment in history, including never-before seen footage of Noel Pearson and Marcia Langton AM, Wik vs Queensland tells a very personal story from the Wik Peoples’ perspective, set against the backdrop of a tumultuous time in Queensland’s history.

Year: 2018
Director: Dean Gibson
Runtime: 84 minutes
