French public broadcaster Arte France has purchased the acclaimed documentary, produced by two of Australia’s finest indigenous filmmakers, Rachel Perkins and Darren Dale.
Six years in the making and filmed in HD, First Australians tells the story of what happens when the world’s oldest living culture is overrun by the world’s greatest empire.
