Ablaze background

Ablaze

The film delves into the remarkable life of William Bill Onus, a trailblazing Aboriginal cultural leader, entrepreneur, and theatre impresario, who may have been the first Indigenous filmmaker, as seen through the eyes of his grandson Tiriki Onus.

Bill Onus, a Yorta Yorta and Wiradjuri man from Victoria, revived his people's culture in the 1940s, sparking a civil rights movement that overcame immense obstacles to alter the course of history.
