This iconic part of Australian history will be screened at the Golden Age Cinemas at 5.30pm, followed by a Q&A with producer Digby Duncan. Grab your tickets online.

Tuesday
GREEN on RED at the Bearded Tit
We all know our perceptions of colour are subjective, so how can we describe, share and move through a world that each of us sees differently? And how does privilege, culture and personal history mix together to impact those perceptions? This ‘mixing’ becomes the focus of this our next show GREEN ON RED, with three formidable First Nations women, Carmen Glynn-Braun, Amala Groom & Nicole Monks, tackling the cultural complexities of belonging and resistance. Co-inciding with NAIDOCs 2018 theme ‘Because of her, we can!’, The Bearded Tit stands in solidarity with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women who fought and continue to fight, for justice, equal rights, rights to country, for law and justice, access to education, employment and to maintain and celebrate culture, language, music and art.
