Our Generation is a 2010 Australian documentary film about the struggle of Aboriginal Australians in the Northern Territory to retain their land, culture and freedom.

Our Generation analyzes relations between Aboriginal Australians and European Australians, from the beginning of colonisation until the present day and looks at ongoing Government policies of paternalism and forced assimilation, explores some of the issues underlying current Aboriginal disadvantage, and upholds the right of First Australians to dignity, culture and empowerment in their own country.

Throughout the documentary, many opinions and testimonies from members of the Yolngu people of Northeast Arnhem Land are shared.

The film also shows how Kevin Rudd's 2008 apology to the Stolen Generations has done nothing to alter the Australian Government's mistreatment of Aboriginal Australians. The Australian Government continues to undermine Aboriginal people's basic human rights, continuing to prevent and restrict their involvement in decisions which affect themselves and their communities, access to basic services, the ability to retain and maintain Aboriginal languages, and the ability to remain on their ancestral homelands.

REAR COVER

Told through the eyes of the Yolngu people of Elcho Island, Northeast Arnhem Land, Our Generation is an unforgettable journey deep into the heart of remote Aboriginal Australia.

Where the pride of an ancient culture is entrapped by third world conditions and the ongoing violation of their human rights.

Carrying the unyielding flame of resistance and justice for Australia's First Peoples, Our Generation is a fresh and contemporary look at issues that remain unresolved. It is a rallying call for understanding and action, so that Australia can finally proceed with dignity and respect for its Indigenous people.
