First Australians Ep 7. We Are No Longer Shadows (Queensland & The Torres Strait Islands (1967-1993)- In the final episode of this landmark series, losing control of the land had the most devastating impact on the first Australians. The struggle for land rights continues to this day and one of its heroes is Eddie Koiki Mabo. Eddie Koiki Mabo fights for Australian law to recognise that his people own Murray Island, where they have lived for generations. In 1992, six months after his death and a decade after the statement of claim was first lodged in Queensland, the highest court in the land decides in Mabo's favour. The outcome overturns the notion of terra nullius, that is, the notion that the land belonged to no-one at the time of white settlement. Directed by Rachel Perkins.
