SUMMARY:Talking Country - Liberation\, Freedom and Restitution
DESCRIPTION:Red Ant believes that the struggle against ongoing colonial oppression of indigenous peoples is inseparable from the fight against capitalism and imperialism. We are therefore proud to host: \nTalking Country – Liberation\, Freedom and Restitution.\nThursday September 4th\, 6PM – 8PM Ballam Ballam Place\,\nRoom 401 15 Phoenix St\, (Formerly 33 Saxon St)\, Brunswick \n  \nRegister here:\nhttps://events.humanitix.com/talkin-country-liberation-freedom-and-restitution \n  \nIt will bring together a powerful and inspirational group of anti-colonial resistance fighters including: \nKing of Guresheba Sinewami\nKanak Great Chief Sinewami Htamumu Hippolyte Wakewi is a leading figure in the struggle for Kanak independence against French colonial rule. This long struggle escalated dramatically in 2024\, when mass protests broke out against French attempts to solidify its occupation through changes to the electoral system to give more French settlers the vote.  French authorities viciously repressed the protests\, killing and imprisoning many. Great Chief Guresheba Sinewami presided over the 16-member traditional Senate of chiefs\, but resigned in 2024 when he accused it of becoming  too close to the colonial New Caledonia Government. He is now President of the ‘Inaat ne Kanaky’ – the National Council of Kanak High Chiefs which was set up in 2022. The Inatt ne Kanay unilaterally declared independence from France in September 2024. You can read Great Chief Sinewami’s statement on Kanaky independence and sovereignty \nRoscoe Lee Browne:\nRoscoe Lee Browne is a Jamaican-Australian journalist and activist who went undercover as a musician to document Kanaky protests in mid 2024. He is also founder of Radio RATA and Resisdance.  Radio RATA is a decolonial media\, culture and mutual aid network\, operating across the Pacific. Roscoe has been pivotal in establishing networks and connections with the Indigenous people of Kanaky \nRobbie Thorpe\nGunai Mara elder Uncle Djuran Bunjileenee Robbie Thorpe has been at the frontline of the fight for indigenous rights and sovereignty since the 1970’s. For over thirty years Uncle Robbie has used the colonisers courts to try and prosecute cases of genocide against the First Nations peoples in so-called Australia\, including against King Charles. Robbie initiated Camp Sovereignty in Melbourne first in 2006\, and again in 2024. He is the longtime presenter on 3CR Bunjil’s Fire program and is a stalwart figure of solidarity with communities and nations targeted for repression by colonialism and imperialism\, including Palestine and Kanaky struggles. \nEllie Gilbert\nEleanor Gilbert is a filmmaker with an extensive research and ecological background. \nHer focus is to tell the stories\, locate and document the pathways\, which are leading out of the maze of oppression and the belly of the Australian genocide to the reinstated sovereignty for First Nations and Peoples. Her recent works include: Star Stories of The Dreaming and Moving Truth: Australian Frontier Conflicts. Ellie Gilbert was the long time companion of Wiradjuri poet and Land Rights campaigner\, Kevin Gilbert’s and mother of their two youngest children. Eleanor illustrated several of Kevin’s books\, as well as co-producing the groundbreaking Timeless Gardens in 1977. \nEllie worked with the owners (the family from which Kevin and their family belong to) of Lake Cowal to defend the lake from a cyanide leaching gold mine. \nPaul Towney\nPaul Towney is a Wiradjuri man. Paul was arrested in February this year for “trespassing’ on land currently claimed by Charles Sturt University in Orange NSW. Paul will be arguing in court that native title was never extinguished as the land was allocated illegally by the colonial authorities and therefore still belongs to the Wiradjuri nation.

SUMMARY:Melbourne Film Screening of "Palestinians Don't Need Sidewalks". Q & A with filmmakers
DESCRIPTION:Come join us for a screening of Dare to Struggle’s newest documentary\, “Palestinians Don’t Need Sidewalk”\, to learn more about how Palestinians continue to resist and struggle against the Zionist occupation. \nThere will be a chance for attendees to participate in a Q&A session with the filmmakers themselves! \nFunds raised from the event will go to support the The Defence for Children International Palestine. \n🆓Free Entry! Book your tickets here: Film Screening – Palestinians Don’t Need Sidewalks \n📅Date: Thursday 21st of August\n⏰Time: 6pm\n📍 Location: Activity Room 206\, Student Pavilion\, The University of Melbourne\, 761 Swanston St\, Parkville VIC 3010 \nSynopsis:\nPalestinian’s Don’t Need Sidewalks\, the newest documentary from “Dare to Struggle”\, takes us on a journey through the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem that\, through Palestinian eyes\, profiles life living under Israeli occupation. \nThe film also looks at Australia’s complicity with Israel\, particularly through Australia’s commitment to reinvigorating its manufacturing base by integrating into the US military supply chain. It also touches on the mainstream media and how the Zionist lobby has managed to control the information that is presented via these channels. This film goes way beyond how mainstream media portrays Israel. \nIn 2024 “Dare to Struggle” partnered with the “Hebron Human Rights Defenders” who throughout the year gathered footage of Palestinian life and of Israeli aggression against Palestinians. They also conducted interviews as a reflection of life for Palestinians after October 7th. “
