Warrigal Creek Massacre documentary film screening
Explore Councils by state
The Western Metro Local Aboriginal Networks, in partnership with the Western Regional Local Government Reconciliation Network are excited to screen the Warrigal Creek Massacre documentary.
When Angus McMillian and the Highland Brigade rode through Gippsland in 1843, they aimed to murder as many Gunai Kurnai children, women and men as they could. At a quiet bend on a beautiful creek they committed one of the worst acts of indiscriminate killing in the Australian colonies.
Drawing on official archives and oral histories that have never died, this is the story of The Warrigal Creek Massacre. Because to move forward we must acknowledge our past.
Produced and directed by Andrew Dodd and Lisa Gye. Production and research by Danielle Bowen, Jonathan Boadle, Jakeb Fair, Alex Owsianka, Don Sheil and Ben Winnell.------------
We aim to contribute to the maturing of our great nation with this opportunity. In addition to the screening, there will be cultural elements and a panel led discussion on the night.
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander viewers are advised that this film may contain images and voices of people who have died.
Viewer discretion is strongly advised as this film contains culturally sensitive content that may cause feelings of distress and grief.
