Manganinnie

In a cinematic tapestry woven from the threads of heartache and resilience, "Manganinnie" presents an unflinchingly honest portrayal of a woman's quest to reconnect with her lost tribe amidst the devastating fallout of the Black Drive. Through the power of visually poetic imagery, we follow Manganinnie and Joanna, a young girl from another world, as they trek across mountainous landscapes en route to the coast. As Manganinnie's journey progresses, the audience is given a poignant glimpse into her growing awareness of the irreversible loss of her people and the once thriving Aboriginal way of life. This harrowing tale sheds light on one of history's darkest chapters - the near-genocide of the Tasmanian Aborigines in 1830 - reminding us of the enduring strength of those who persevered despite the odds.
