AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'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. First-hand account of the struggle - told by the Aboriginal people who fought for their land and the radicals who joined with them. Producer - Jeremey Boylen; made for TAFESA Elizabeth Campus under Part VA of the Copyright Act 1968.' (Source: TROVE)
