Putuparri and the Rainmakers
Tom "Putuparri" Lawford is a man caught between two worlds: his past and present in modern society, where he battles with alcoholism and domestic violence; and his future as a leader of his people, reconnecting with his ancestral lands, learning about his traditional culture and shouldering his responsibility to pass this knowledge on to the next generation. Director Nicole Ma spent more than a decade documenting Putuparri's journey, travelling with him and his family on numerous occasions to Kurtal, in the Kimberley's Great Sandy Desert region – traditionally a site of great significance as a place where people ritually make rain – as they fight for their native title claim over the area. Set against the backdrop of this long fight for ownership of traditional lands, the MIFF Premiere Fund-supported Putuparri and the Rainmakers is an emotional, visually breathtaking story of love, hope and the survival of Aboriginal law and culture against all odds.

As lawmakers gathered to certify the election of Joe Biden, an angry mob encouraged by Donald Trump stormed the Capitol building, leading to the deaths of several people. Congressman Ruben Gallego describes the fear he felt as the rioters searched for lawmakers: 'In my opinion, there's nothing scarier than a white mob, especially in the United States'. The riot shocked many, including former members of the Trump administration. ‘None of us signed up for insurrection. We signed up for lower taxes and deregulation, and fewer involvements overseas... I think it's going to colour his legacy forever,’ says former White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney.
