Our Generation - Official Trailer

The ground-breaking new documentary on Aboriginal rights, by Sinem Saban and Damien Curtis.

A rollercoaster journey into the heart of Australia's Indigenous relations, a hidden shame that is pushing the world's oldest living culture to the edge. Through the stories of the Yolngu of Northeast Arnhem Land, the film looks at the Government's ongoing policies of paternalism and assimilation, examines the real issues underlying Indigenous disadvantage, and opens dialogue on ways forward that respect Aboriginal culture and dignity. A fresh and unflinching look at unresolved issues, with music by John Butler Trio, Yothu Yindi and Gurrumul.

It's the right of the aboriginal people to live where they have always lived..it is their HOME. Let them live their life in peace. God bless them.

White Australians are the most racist people I've ever met.

control of our money. They gave us BASIC CARDS to use so we can't buy SMOKES, BEER, DRUGS, and other things. But other people around AUSTRALIA are doing that. They treats us just like only we are doing those things but they can't see that those things are happening in their own back yard.

I am so glad that dis video is on youtube cos it shows where this intervention has started n why. Here you can see dat our ppl standing up for themselves and saying NO to MEL BROUGH or whoever he is dat he wanted to buy lands and they told him NO. Than he went back to ACT and told them all this B/S stories about child abuse. They did this because they want to walk into our lands and take it over. I know we are AUSTRALIANS but why do they treat us different??? Here in the NT the GOVENMENT are in

They only found two pedophiles, and they were white. Politicians need to be more accountable for the things they say and the policies they enact.

Theres a non-racist comment for you....White Australians are the most racist people I've ever met.....I'm a white Australian and I do not believe I am....I think Racism is responsible for a lot of terror in the past, Racism will not help forward movements.
