- The inspirational story of Dr. Gordon Briscoe's life - from his work with legendary eye doctor Fred Hollows, to his days as an activist travelling Australia and telling traditional land owners about their land rights, and everything in between. 'Kulka' celebrates the life and times of Dr Gordon Briscoe, AO - a campaigner for basic human rights for Indigenous Australians, an activist, motivator, thinker, researcher, author, teacher and mentor. It is the inspirational story of an institutionalised Aboriginal person, interned in an 'alien' camp during the second World War with very little education, who struggled against the odds to achieve dignity and respect for himself and his people. His work as co-founder of the Aboriginal Medical Service in Redfern in the 1970s led him to initiate the National Trachoma and Eye Health Program conducted by the late Professor Fred Hollows. This program opened the eyes of the world to the poverty and disease underlying the social problems of Indigenous Australians. As a Land Rights activist and the first Indigenous Australian to stand for federal parliament, Gordon travelled throughout the Northern Territory talking to communities about their rights as traditional owners. This story of Gordon Briscoe's journey as a boy once labeled a 'ward of the state' to a man who reclaimed his traditional family and sense of cultural identity, is intensely personal and powerful, and resonates with the ongoing struggle for self-determination facing Indigenous Australians today.
- War began in Sierra Leone in 1991 when an armed rebel group, the Revolutionary United Front, began a campaign against the president, capturing towns along the borders. During the eleven years of war, children in Sierra Leone were severely affected. The roles and struggles of young girls during the war in Sierra Leone have not been widely acknowledged. Many young girls were abducted by rebel groups during attacks on their towns or villages and forced to directly participate in the frontline fighting. They were also forced to provide other services to armed groups. These services included them being forced to participate as cooks, spies and sex slaves. The war was officially declared over in 2002 following UN intervention and the disarmament of 45,000 fighters. 'But we are strong' tells the untold stories of five young women who survived Sierra Leone's civil war.
