G. Whitlam , Canberra : ABC Television , 2007 9911980 2007 single work film/TV 'Story of Australia's first successful land rights campaign: an against-the-odds struggle that reshaped our nation. Recalls the momentous fight started 40 years ago by the Gurindji people of the Northern Territory. On Australia's biggest cattle station, they took on one of England's richest aristocrats, the beef baron Lord Vestey. Their 1966 strike became one of our longest industrial disputes. Their rebellion gave rise to a national movement. The Gurindji stuck to their demands - over nine hard years - and garnered support across Australia; from bricklayers to folk singers, from white university students to a new wave of young, urban Indigenous activists. These pioneering alliances carried the Gurindji message from the edge of the Tanami desert to the world. First-hand account of the struggle - told by the Aboriginal people who fought for their land and the radicals who joined with them.' (Source: TROVE)
