We’re delighted to announce that ABC International has acquired broadcast rights for BLACKBIRD to screen throughout the Asia Pacific region, free to air via their ABC international platform.

This is particularly exciting because it means that those throughout the Asia Pacific region in over 40 countries, will have the opportunity to access to our short film. BLACKBIRD is inspired by the history of Australia’s sugar slaves and it’s an honour to be able to share our story in this way – particularly with communities and regions where the effects of this history still reverberates.

Upcoming screening: Saturday 15 August 2020 at 4.45pm AEDT – Australian Eastern Daylight Time. This broadcast will be followed by a Facebook LIVE Q&A on the Blackbird Film Project Facebook Page.

For those who missed the BLACKBIRD broadcast, the film can be viewed via Vimeo OnDemand online streaming: WATCH BLACKBIRD
