Motherhood in the Colony
From the river to the sea. Always was, always will be.
Watch the teaser
In a world shaped by violence and erasure, Motherhood in the Colony brings eight First Nations and Palestinian women together.
Through intimate storytelling, the film unravels stories of colonial trauma, and mothering as an act of resistance, while inviting audiences to listen, learn, and envision a future beyond the oppressive structures of colonisation.
