Which Australian man or woman deserves their own movie? We’re open to anyone, regardless of race or culture, from 1788 to today. Whose incredible life story do you think is missing from the big screen?

One thought on “Which Australian man or woman should they make a movie about?”

  1. One compelling figure that deserves a movie is Dr. Edward Koiki Mabo. As an Indigenous Australian from the Torres Strait Islands, Mabo is best known for his pivotal role in the landmark 1992 High Court case, Mabo v Queensland, which overturned the legal doctrine of terra nullius and recognized the land rights of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

    His life story is not only a powerful narrative of struggle against injustice but also a portrait of resilience, community, and the fight for recognition and dignity. The film could explore his early life, his deep connection to his culture, and the tireless work he did in educating others about Indigenous rights. It would highlight the personal sacrifices he made and his influence on the Australian legal landscape, making it a deeply engaging and inspiring story that resonates with contemporary issues of social justice and recognition of Indigenous rights.

    This film could also bring attention to the broader context of Indigenous histories and experiences in Australia, fostering a greater understanding and appreciation for the richness of Indigenous cultures.
