Description: | This documentary traces the story of the life of an extraordinary man, Eddie Koiki Mabo, whose struggle for land rights, and his remarkable life in general, had a profound effect on indigenous rights in Australia.

Though he died before his great victory was won, it has forever ensured his place on Murray Island and in Australian history. |
