Joan Sutherland Performing Arts Centre: Blak Douglas vs The Commonwealth (Film Screening)

8 July @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm AEST

In this documentary, Blak Douglas shares his experiences of tracing his grandmother’s story.

At the NSW State Archives, he unearths the harrowing machinations of a system that deliberately fragmented his family.

Blak Douglas tells his story, his way, in a gripping testament to the spirit and transformative power of art to address injustices of the past. His reflections are powerful, brutally honest and disarming, establishing him as one of the most vital voices in the Australian arts landscape.
