In 1925, Fred Maynard established the Australian Aboriginal Progressive Association (A.A.P.A.), the first large scale Aboriginal rights movement. The film is a biography of Fred Maynard, a significant and important historical figure, and an overview of the rise and undermining of the A.A.P.A. It also looks at Maynard’s intellectual influences and the connections the A.A.P.A. had to other significant black rights movements to show the deep philosophies that underlined this early and significant Aboriginal protest movement.
