Ablaze
Written and directed by Tiriki Onus and Alec Morgan
In cinemas 

Ablaze tells the story of Bill Onus, Australia’s first Indigenous filmmaker and a little-known but significant cultural and political figure.

It is a superb documentary created by Onus’s grandson, Tiriki and award-winning documentarian Alec Morgan, whose ground-breaking Lousy Little Sixpence is regarded as a touchstone of Australian cinema.
