Event Details
NAGANA YARRBAYN: THE WATER PROTECTORS A short documentary by Wangan and Jagalingou Cultural Custodians
Nagana Yarrbayn: The Water Protectorsfollows Senior Cultural Custodian Adrian Burragubba from the sacred Doongmabulla Springs to the courtroom, the community, and the national stage—documenting the Wangan and Jagalingou (W&J) fight to protect their ancestral waters from destruction by Adani’s Carmichael mine.
Produced by Kim Paul Nguyen (Frontiers Media) in collaboration with W&J Nagana Yarrbayn Cultural Custodians, the film captures both the beauty of these ancient springs and the determination of the custodians to fulfil their sacred obligation under First Law to protect them.
Adrian Burragubba will speak following the screening about what’s at stake—for Country, for cultural rights, and for all of us.
Adrian will be joined by Special Guests:
- Alison Rose – Special Counsel, Ninox Law leading the court case to protect the Doongmabulla Springs
- Professor Matthew Currell – hydrogeologist and independent expert witness on impacts of the mine to the Springs
Protect sacred water. Protect human rights. Protect Country.
