Bob MazaSummary: By the early 1970s, the Sydney suburb of Redfern had grown to be the largest aboriginal community in Australia. Gradual revocation of reserve lands forced many to move to this affordable suburb, quickly overpopulating the area and resulting in tensions between the new inhabitants and police. Though a 1967 Referendum promised to provide long-awaited support to Aboriginal Australians, little changed, and many still struggled with daily experiences of racism and prejudice. In 1971, a small group of Redfern activists came together to seek out ways in which they could address the systematic oppression faced by their community. THE REDFERN STORY documents the crucial work of a group of Redfern activists who used theater to bring the fight for indigenous rights to the larger public in Australia. Influenced by the Black Power movement in the United States, founder Bob Maza and his peers began their work with informal street theater and protests in 1971. Winner of the Best Documentary Award at the **ATOM Awards.** Official Selection at the **Margaret Mead Documentary Film Festival.**
