Our Commitment to First Nations and Indigenous Communities

Through ongoing partnerships with First Nations and local communities, Magic Lands Alliance projects aim not only to share an important chapter of Australia's history, but to create enduring cultural, educational and economic opportunities that continue well beyond the life of the film.
