Facing an existential threat from a proposed green energy project, the Rock Creek Band of the Yakama Nation fight to protect their sacred sites and cultural resources. In a last-ditch effort to be heard, they open their community and reveal parts of their sacred culture for the first time.
Weaving together tradition, activism, community and beautiful moments, filmmakers Jacob Bailey and Christopher Ward present a powerful, tender portrait of a community’s fight to protect their sacred lands from continued colonial extraction
Presented in partnership with Monash University, this screening will include a selection of shorts by Aboriginal action group, Original Power.
