Product Overview

Please note: This product ships in a plain CD-sized case (without commercial packaging).

This is a rich and powerful story of a man whose design created meaning for a people once invisible to people of mainland Australia, the people of the Torres Strait.

In 2017 it is the 25th anniversary of the Torres Strait Flag. For Bernard Namok Jnr, 'Bala B' the flag is a poignant reminder of home, family and the father he hardly knew. Bernard Namok Senior won the flag design competition in 1992 but a year later, at just 31 years, he died leaving behind his wife with four young children. Journey across the Torres Straits with Bala B to honour his father's legacy. A rich and powerful story of a man whose design created meaning for a people once invisible to people of mainland Australia, the people of the Torres Strait.
