Mabo

Mabo is the story of how one man fought the system and won, how one man affected the lives of all his people. Eddie 'Koiki' Mabo was shocked to discover that the ownership of land his ancestors passed down on Murray Island in The Torres Strait Islands for over 15 generations was not legally recognized. Rather than accept this injustice he began an epic fight for Australian law to recognise traditional land rights.
