Fire of the Land

Set at the time of the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games, the film tells the story of the Aboriginal Tent Embassy's peace camp in Sydney's Victoria Park. At the centre of the film is Isabell Coe of the Wiradjuri Nation (in central New South Wales) who brought ashes to Sydney from the Sacred Fire for Peace and Justice at the Aboriginal Tent Embassy in Canberra, to symbolise the role of the Embassy in promoting reconciliation between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal Australians

Take Heart

Take Heart reveals the incredible true-life stories of young people living with Rheumatic Heart Disease (RHD), and the families and health workers caring for them. The stakes are high for these kids, RHD is life-threatening and they must comply to strict medication schedules to stay alive. Regular health checks, restricted activities and frequent hospital admissions are commonplace and they rely on the support of their family, friends and community health workers to keep them on track.
