| Description: |
An acclaimed documentary film. Liyarn Ngarn, that looks at the life and death of a murdered aboriginal youth, will make its Sutherland Shire premiere at a special screening at the Sutherland Entertainment Centre on Thursday 10 July 2008.
The dead youth was the adopted son of an old friend of Postlethwaite's. The movie begins in Perth, where the murder occurred, then takes audiences to his outback origins.
Postlethwaite said of making the film "It was a labour of love that taught me about love. It was an extraordinary experience that is still with me very strongly."
A compelling tale of racism and a plea for a new future in black and white relations in Australia, the screening of Liyarn Ngarn is being organised by SSCNTaR - Sutherland Shire Citizens for Native Title & Reconciliation. |
