Synopsis

PEMULWUY charts the history of Australia's first ever Aboriginal resistance fighter. From his first encounter with the British in Botany Bay, to his 12 year war against the establishment, to his eventual demise in 1802 in Parramatta where he was finally beheaded. The program exposes one of Australia's forgotten histories and an unsung hero of the Bidgigal people of the Dharug language group of Sydney.
