Redfern Story, The (ATOM Study Guide)

The film focuses on the events that led to the setting up of the National Black Theatre in Redfern in 1972 by a small group of untrained political activists, writers, dancers and actors, with Bob Maza at the helm. Spanning only five years, it was a way that Aboriginal people felt they could get their voices heard effectively.

Teachers will be able to connect The Redfern Story to Year 10–12 studies of History and English.
