Synopsis

"On Sacred Ground" tells the compelling story of the Noonkanbah dispute, a significant campaign by Australian Indigenous people opposing mining in the Kimberley region during the late 1970s. Featuring a spokesperson from the Kimberley Land Council, the film presents the Aboriginal perspective on the area's history since European settlement. This documentary explores the complexities of Aboriginal displacement and cultural loss, while also highlighting their efforts for self-determination, economic well-being, and the preservation of language and traditions. By revealing the deep connection Indigenous communities have to their ancestral lands and sacred sites, and the reasons behind their continuing fight for land rights, "On Sacred Ground" offers a powerful and informative cinematic experience.
