The Tracker [Rated M ] CC
Date and time
The theme for this year's NAIDOC is Get Up! Stand Up! Show Up! The film we have chosen is The Tracker.
About this event
The NAIDOC 2022 theme encourages all of us to champion institutional, structural, collaborative, and cooperative change while celebrating key moments and individuals who have already driven and led change in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities over generations.
The film chosen for NAIDOC Week is the Tracker, captions available.
When a white woman is murdered in 1920s Australia, a police officer (Gary Sweet) ventures into the outback with a small crew in search of the Aboriginal fugitive (Noel Wilton) accused of the crime. In his group are a newcomer to the country (Damon Gameau), an old sage (Grant Page) and an Indigenous tracker (David Gulpilil, NAIDOC Lifetime Achievement Winner) who is not fully trusted by the racially prejudiced officer. As the pursuit through this dangerous territory drags on, tensions begin to rise between the crew members.
This movie contains imagery of Indigenous people who have passed.
Light refreshments provided.
