Our Generation

Our Generation


Sinem Saban & Damien Curtis

Our Generation is their untold story; of a struggle hidden from the eyes of mainstream Australia.
It is a rollercoaster journey into the heart of Australia’s indigenous relations, revealing a hidden shame that is pushing the Aboriginal culture to the edge
Through the stories of the Yolngu of North East Arnhem Land, the film looks at the government’s ongoing policies of paternalism and assimilation, examines the real issues underlying indigenous disadvantage, and opens dialogue on ways forward that respect Aboriginal culture and dignity. There is much we can and should learn from the oldest living culture, the film concludes.
