Georges River Council is celebrating the 2016 NAIDOCWeek’s theme
Songlines
with free family screenings of two great Australian musical films.
Inspired by a true story,
The Sapphires
(PG 103 minutes) follows four
vivacious, young and talented Aboriginal girls from a remote mission as they
learn about love, friendship and war when their all-girl group The Sapphires
entertains the US troops inVietnam in 1968. Starring Jessica Mauboy, Deborah
Mailman, Shari Sebbens and Miranda Tapsell.
Loosely based on one of Australia’s most beloved and popular stage musicals,
Bran Nue Dae
(PG 85 minutes) is a foot stomping tour-de-force centering on the
romantic adventures of a young aboriginal couple set against the spectacularly
beautiful Australian landscape. Starring Jessica Mauboy, Ernie Dingo and Geoffrey Rush.
Bookings are essential.
