A screening of Yaara Bou Melhem’s Yurlu Country anchors this evening of cinema and dialogue. The film follows Banyjima elder Maitland Parker as he pursues justice over asbestos mining on his ancestral land in Western Australia, blending personal testimony with a wider struggle for accountability. A moderated panel extends the film’s urgent themes, asking how communities can document environmental harm, challenge powerful interests, and press for responsible business practices through collective action and public scrutiny.
