Bristol Indymedia is proud to present the Bristol Première of Munda Nyuringu, introduced by the co-director, Janine Roberts. The film is a documentary named by the Wongi people of Western Australia. It means "He's taken the land, he thinks it is his, he will not give it back". The film tells the Aboriginal story of the colonization of Australia as symbolised by the seizure of the goldfields of West Australia and by the use of their 'empty lands' for UK Atomic bomb tests in which some 400 Aborigines died. It also told for the first time how mixed blood children were seized and taken from their parents, which made headlines recently when the new Australian Prime Minister, Kevin Rudd, apologised.
