NT Elders and communities open their hearts on Voice to Parliament referendum in new film

The film Our Voice, Our Heart follows two Darwin locals, Tiwi man Jaxon De Santis and Warlpiri/Jawoyn man Justin Grant, who realise that if they have no idea what the Voice to Parliament means to them and their community, how are millions of Australians going to know?

In Our Voice, Our Heart Jaxon De Santis and Justin Grant crisscross parts of the Northern Territory looking for answers, from getting the pitch straight up from Thomas Mayo at Barunga Festival, across the Top End, as they talk to Elders, Leaders, community members and family from communities in Nhulunbuy, Tiwi, Kalkarindji, Kakadu & Gunbalanya.

Jaxon De Santis, Laurens Goud and Justin Grant at Ubirr Rock Through their journey, Jaxon and Justin hope to inspire a national conversation about the importance of voting with knowledge and conviction, and to help all Australians fill their knowledge cup just a little before they vote on this crucial issue.

 

The documentary Our Voice, Our Heart will mark its official world premiere at Darwin International Film Festival (DIFF) with a gala screening event on Sunday 17 September, followed by a Q&A.
