All-Access Pass only $38 AUD
Experience the power of First Nations storytelling by joining The First Nations Film Festival 2024 during Naidoc featuring a line up of films to help inspire, examine and drive discussion.
MAMMUNG is a captivating journey into the heart of Noongar culture, unveiling a story 10,000 years in the making. As Western Australia faced a rapid sea-level rise, the indigenous Noongar people were forced to adapt, losing nearly 30% of their land to a 'slow moving tsunami.' This film dives deep into the living memory of this monumental event, guided by the insightful Dr. Noel Nannup.
Through the narrative dreaming story of MAMMUNG the whale, Dr. Nannup illuminates the significance of now-submerged places and the resilience of a people who adapted to massive environmental changes. MAMMUNG not only recounts an ancient climate shift but also parallels the current challenges we face today.
This compelling documentary asks: Can we learn from the Noongar’s rich body of knowledge to navigate our own climate crisis? What awaits us if we fail to adapt? MAMMUNG is a poignant reminder of the power of indigenous wisdom and the importance of understanding and valuing their history as we confront our future.
