Her Name is Nanny Nellie is a powerful and poignant documentary that sheds light on the treatment of Aboriginal people in Australia's history and the ongoing efforts to reclaim their identity and dignity.
In 1925, the Australian Museum commissioned three statues depicting Aboriginal individuals—a child, a man, and a woman—displayed anonymously as relics of a "dying race." The woman was Nellie Walker, great-grandmother of Irene Ridgeway, who is now on a mission to uncover Nellie’s story. Coming to DocPlay July 2026.
