Fighting for a future: the story of the women of Fitzroy Crossing
The movie will tell the story of an alcohol ban recently implemented across the Fitzroy Valley.
This project brings together an outstanding team with high level expertise in indigenous research (The George Institute for International Health), human rights advocacy (Australian Human Rights Commission), and world-class film directing (Reverb Productions) to produce a powerful, short movie that was shown to Australians and a global audience at the United Nations in 2009. The movie tells the story of an alcohol ban recently implemented across the Fitzroy Valley, the journey of the indigenous women who made it happen and the far reaching and sometimes surprising results of their courage. The project is being managed by A/Prof Jane Latimer. Funding for this project was generously provided by an anonymous donor
