Firestarter – The Story Of Bangarra is a documentary which tells the tale of Bangarra Dance Theatre through the eyes of their long standing artistic director, Stephen Page.

Co-directed by Nel Minchin and Wayne Blair, the piece tackles modern day issues facing Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, like dispossession and loss of cultural identity, set against a backdrop of Australian history.

Firestarter – The Story Of Bangarra took out this year’s Adelaide Film Festival Feature Documentary Award and is screening now.
