Please join us for a screening of Exile and the Kingdom, an award-winning documentary made with the Yindjibarndi, Ngarluma, Banyjima, and Gurrama people of Roebourne, in the Pilbara region of Western Australia. A comprehensive account of the experiences of an Aboriginal community from precolonial times to the 1990s, Exile and the Kingdom links Aboriginal people in chains in the nineteenth century to Aboriginal people in prisons today, providing a deeper understanding of how the violence and denials of the past inform the present. It argues that the relentless removal of the Yindjibarndi/Ngarluma people into coastal ghettos has led to the community’s current problems, and never allows us to forget the significance and influence of spiritual homelands, the bedrock upon which Yindjibarndi/Ngarluma tribal law is based. Exile and the Kingdom is a beautiful, logical, persuasive argument for land rights. It was produced with the assistance of the Australian Film Commission, ScreenWest, ATSIC, AAPA, and Ngurin Aboriginal Corporation. It was directed by Frank Rijavec, and produced by Frank Rijavec and Noelene Harrison.
