In Australia, there is a general ignorance about Aboriginal resistance against colonial invasion. This ignorance is a huge contributing factor to the cultural disrespect which results in the shameful inequality of today's Australian population.
Pemulwuy’s (c.1750–1802) story is an inspirational narrative which permeates the malaise of Australia’s national identity/s. This heroic saga has been aptly depicted by such works as Eric Willmot’s 1987 novel Pemulwuy: The Rainbow Warrior.

We explicitly call for all relevant financing bodies, organisations, peoples and capable parties to act immediately by contributing what is needed for the production of a heavily researched and culturally acceptable film about Pemulwuy. By these means, our intension is the improved wellbeing of all Australians and moreover, the very idea of 'australia' itself.
