Product Overview

Mabo – Life of an Island Man traces the story of the life of an extraordinary man, Eddie Koiki Mabo. His struggle for land rights, and his remarkable life in general, have had a profound effect on indigenous rights in Australia. The film is a celebration of his achievements. It highlights how Mabo pursued the case to have his ownership of property on Mer (Murray Island) legally recognised, and how that claim grew into a case that changed indigenous rights in Australia.
