Eddie Mabo - the man who changed Australia

For two centuries, the British and then white Australians operated under a fallacy, that somehow Aboriginal people did not exist or have land rights before the first settlers arrived in 1788.Kulasegaram Sanchayan presents the man who changed that - Eddie Koiki Mabo, an Australian man from the Torres Strait Islands. Eddie Mabo is known for his role in campaigning for Indigenous land rights and for his role in a landmark decision of the High Court of Australia which overturned the legal doctrine of terra nullius ("land belonging to nobody") which characterised Australian law with regard to land and title.
