The Aboriginal story is often buried deep beneath the accepted 247-year Australian historical narrative. It's not that the Australian story is wrong, it's just that it's a wee bit one sided. Getting all historical, Aboriginal filmmaker Trisha Morton-Thomas, bites back at Australian history.

Short entertaining doco takes an inclusive approach to Australia's past, breezily related by Trisha Morton-Thomas with support from (among others) film director/producer Rachel Perkins and writer Bruce Pascoe. In 50 mins it presents a broad sweep of the resilience the world's oldest continuous culture has needed to survive colonisation and what still remains to be achieved. It reveals how the culture of Australia's indigenous peoples was misrepresented and ignored and calls for the full story of Australia's past be taught so that reconciliation can happen. Be prepared to hear the truth of history from those most affected by it. Truly revealing. Why wasn't I taught this at school?!
