Join us for this free film screening of Heart of the Man (M).

On-the-rise young Indigenous boxer Chris Wundurra lives in the long-cast shadow of his old man.

Though Chris has alternate influences in his big-hearted grandmother and café owning friend Marcus, Sammy’s hold over Chris is vice-tight.

Sammy pushes Chris to swing for a national boxing championship, something he never had a shot at.

But when Chris meets Jamie and is taken under the wing of a gay theatre owner, he eventually realises that he’s on a very different journey altogether.   

The event is part of Council's Connecting to Country and Culture, an eight-week immersive program of events, First Nations cultural learning and truth‑telling.
