Description

'Firestarter – The Story of Bangarra' is an inspiring documentary that traces the 30-year history of Bangarra Dance Theatre, one of Australia's leading First Nations arts companies. Through the lens of the three Page brothers — Stephen, David, and Russell — the film explores the intersection of traditional Aboriginal culture and contemporary dance. It reflects on Bangarra's impact in bringing Indigenous stories to global stages while navigating the personal and collective challenges faced by the brothers and their community. 'Firestarter' celebrates resilience, artistry, and the transformative power of storytelling through dance.

It is available to watch on Netflix and is rated M for mature audiences (15 years and above).
I recommend this documentary for teachers.
