Join us at the Fitzroy Town Hall Reading Room to watch a locally-made documentary!

For more than four decades, Fitzroy icon Robbie Thorpe has stood at the frontlines of Aboriginal resistance — confronting the unfinished business of invasion, sovereignty, and state violence in so-called Australia.

Our Warrior is a powerful documentary portrait of Fitzroy icon Robbie Thorpe: Krauatungalung (Gurnai) and Djapwurrung (Gunditjmara) man, unapologetic activist, and tireless campaigner for Indigenous sovereignty. Through archival footage and intimate moments, the film traces Thorpe’s life of resistance — from the early days of Black Power through to contemporary struggles against police violence, incarceration, and the ongoing dispossession of First Nations peoples.

Our Warrior asks urgent questions about who is allowed to dissent — and what it means to keep fighting anyway.
