Ripples from Wave Hill

RIPPLES FROM WAVE HILL tells the story of a group of Aboriginal stockmen who walked off a cattle station in the Northern Territory in a bid for better pay and conditions. The strike went on for eight years and eventually became Australia's first successful land rights campaign. It was an against all odds struggle that reshaped our nation. As Australia wrestles again with questions of Indigenous land ownership, this film recalls the fight started 40 years ago by the Gurindji people of the Northern Territory.
