After 26 years on 16mm, a groundbreaking documentary becomes available on DVD. Filmmaker Carolyn Strachan recalls the making of Two Laws/Kanymardra Yuwa, about an Aboriginal land rights struggle, and how her ongoing desire to find an audience that appreciates its use of wide-angle lens and community-driven storytelling prompted the re-release.
In 1981, filmmakers Carolyn Strachan and Alessandro Cavadini received acclaim for Two Laws/Kanymardra Yuwa, a documentary about the struggle for Aboriginal groups from the Northern Territory to live within both their own and Australian law.
