88

Synopsis

On January 26, 1988, convoys from across Australia converged to protest the celebration of Australia Day. This documentary recounts the events leading up to that day and the aftermath of the protests. Following the 1982 Commonwealth Games Protest, activists sought to affirm their survival and challenge the narrative of Australian history. The demonstrations sparked public debate about the role of Aboriginal people in society and contributed to the formation of Indigenous organizations, shaping attitudes towards national identity and history.
