Short Film - 'The Aunties' (Kuranda, QLD)

Desert Pea Media is proud to announce the release of 'The Aunties' - an archival film from 2019, created as a collaboration with the Djabugay community of Kuranda, QLD.
Join a group of amazing Djabugay Aunties, as they share an intimate reflection on the difficult and traumatising social and political history of local Bama (Original Nations People) in North Queensland.
It’s important that we know our history and our context so that we might understand our situation, and make positive changes for future generations. These are traditional processes of knowledge transfer, and it truly an honour for us to listen, learn, share and create with the Djabugay community.
Created as part of the 'Break It Down - Community Conversations Around Wellbeing' initiative - funded by Northern Queensland Primary Health Network.
