Australian Big Screen Premiere of the
Australian and International Award Winning
Documentary "Sacred Ground"
at Tandanya on 10 December 2008 at 7pm

In a remote coastal region of South Australia, Quenten discovers human skeletal remains in the middle of a multi-million dollar housing development - is it a murder or is it an ancestor?

Sacred Ground is a poignant and deeply moving story of resilience, dispossession and powerlessness. 5 years in the making, this observational documentary captures Quenten Agius and his family fighting to save what is left of their ancient heritage and culture.

This multi-layered film is a microcosm of what is happening to Aboriginal peoples all over Australia. In the lucky country, 40,000 years of ancient heritage, culture and traditions are being swept away - it's a national disgrace.

From the opening scenes to the thought provoking climax, this is a contemporary story - challenging, enriching and emotional - that takes us into an Aboriginal world that is rarely seen or heard.

Quenten and his family have the guts to stand up, to speak out and express their views, to fight for what they believe in - Sacred Ground is their story.
