Vote Yes for Aborigines Screening - Reconciliation Week Screening

The Don Dunstan Foundation with Reconciliation SA present screening of'Vote Yes for Aborigines'

Recognising 50 years since the 1967 Referendum. Please join us for light refreshments with special guest speakers followed by the screening of ‘Vote Yes for Aborigines’.

The film revisits those involved with the 1967 Referendum and the social attitudes and influences that led to the event, featuring former Prime Ministers, politicians, historians and campaigners.

More than just marking a time in history, VOTE YES FOR ABORIGINES interrogates the success of the Referendum and addresses current debates about what is meant by Australian citizenship and values and how they relate, if at all, to Aboriginal history, identity and culture.
