MDFF Before 1770: The Journey Home

Before 1770: The Journey Home (Dir: Wesam Charkawi and Fred El-Harris – 96m)
Challenging colonial narratives, ‘Before 1770’ uncovers the Yolngu people’s 60,000-year history and pre-Cook global connections, weaving a story of Indigenous resilience, trade, and cultural restoration.
This is Australia’s real story of resilience, interconnection, and the enduring hope for restoration. And it’s a story the world cannot afford to ignore.
