2025 #UraniumFilmFestival - #BobbyBrownHomelands - Living with the Legacy of #British #NuclearTesting

#Australia, 2015, Produced and Directed by Kim Mavromatis and Quenten Agius, MAV Media in Association with NITV (National Indigenous TV Australia). Documentary, 5 min

"In the 1950’s and 1960’s the Australian government authorised British Nuclear testing at #EmuField and #Maralinga in Outback South Australia. We journey with #Antikirrinya Elder, #IngkamaBobbyBrown to his homelands in outback #SouthAustralia where he explains the legacy of living with British Nuclear testing - how he witnessed the first tests on the Australian mainland at Emu Field (1953) and experienced the devastating affects of radioactive fallout on his family, people and country. This is the first time Bobby has spoken out about what he witnessed when he was a boy - what happened to his family and country and the people who went missing - during British Nuclear testing.

"Dedicated to Bobby Brown - keeping his connection to country and story alive”.

" 'Happy to have the film screen at the Uranium Film Fest, Las Vegas Nevada. An appropriate place for Bobby’s film to be screened. Bobby would have loved that - he passed away in 2023.' Kim Mavromatis.

Noli is considered the youngest ‘first contact’ Aboriginal person in Australia – his family were relocated from the remote desert in 1986 to Yakadunya, where Spinifex people had been moved due to nuclear testing at #Maralinga.

Yankunytjatjara Elder Yami Lester was aged 10 when the Totem 1 nuclear test detonated close to his home at Wallatinna station – an event that left him permanently blind, made many others sick, and killed some of his elders.

This year marks 40 years since the shocking truth about British nuclear testing in remote Australia was exposed by the McClelland Royal Commission.

"Efforts to transfer contaminated land to its traditional owners ring hollow in the Australian desert"

"#Nuclear #colonialism .. form of imperialism. It destroyed countless lives + cultures,.."

".. dozens of burial pits + trenches. The pits are both known + unknown, .."

".. secrecy + betrayal, .. disrupted songlines .. broken futures .."
