'No Bugles, No Drums': documentary screening

Library & Archives NT

'No Bugles, No Drums' highlights the involvement of Aboriginal people in the Top End during World War Two.

Northern Territory Library

Join us as we dive into our audio-visual collection for a special screening of No Bugles, No Drums, 1990.No Bugles, No Drums is a documentary film directed by John Burnett and produced by Debra Beattie. The documentary gives an insight into the war effort of Aboriginal people in the Top End during World War Two. Highlighting stories from the Tiwi Islands, Arnhem Land and Milingimbi, the documentary unearths the unacknowledged contributions of these communities to the defence of Australia. This film, along with other ground-breaking publications released at the time, helped motivate the then Minister for Indigenous Australians, Robert Tickner to begin the process of giving proper compensation to Indigenous people who had served in World War Two. This event will be livestreamed through our Facebook page. Register your attendance for the event held at Northern Territory Library (inside Parliament House). The screening of this special film coincides with our temporary exhibition Tiwi Heroes: World War Two Encounters. Image: Still from No Bugles, No Drums, 1990.
