- TriviaAugust 2017: Mandy Chang, ABC's Head of Arts, TV Non Scripted Production: "A bootleg copy of the film was sent to me and Sally Riley (Head of Scripted Production), by an academic who was keen to see it aired. I thought it important enough to send to our MD, Michelle Guthrie, who also expressed a desire to see this unique historical record shown on our screens.
"In the 51 years since it was made, for political reasons it was never broadcast in Australia. By co-incidence, I discovered it was made by an English friend who had never mentioned it. It's taken well over a year and an epic search by a small team of us - both here and in the UK - who eventually tracked it down and acquired the rights. The ABC has had it restored to its full glory and I feel proud that Australians will now have the privilege of seeing the unfolding story of Vincent Lingiari and his Gurindji Mob, who having walked off Lord Vestey's property, were lobbying the government to protest their right to land that was rightfully theirs."
Featured review
A film never before seen on Australian TV
Brilliant documentary. Frank Hardy's story-telling is a poetic wonder.
The grace, humour, strength of tribal culture of Vincent Lingiari and his Gurindji Mob is a lesson to all of us white-fellas.
It's a damn crime that 2017 is the first time it is shown on Australian TV. 51 years late! "From little things big things grow"
