- **Event Description**: The story of a publishing phenomenon that ignited a raging debate and challenged the nation to rethink its history.

Thought-provoking, revelatory and inspiring – this feature-length documentary from Blackfella Films (Total Control, Redfern Now) tells the story of Bruce Pascoe’s 2014 best-selling book, Dark Emu, which challenged thinking around Australian history.

The book makes the explosive claims that First Nations people were not only hunters and gatherers but also farmers who were part of a complex economic system. But Dark Emu has ignited a fierce debate, sparking searing criticism and academics and conservative commentators have lined up to pour scorn upon Pascoe’s work and question the knowledge of the First Australians.

THE DARK EMU STORY delves into the controversy, provides a platform for First Nations people to share their remarkable stories, and enlightens our understanding of Australian history.

This documentary contains:
• Racism
• Depictions of violence
• Familial domestic violence
• May contain images and voices of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people who have passed away

Viewer discretion is advised.
