The Mangatharra Road: a documentary-film history of first Australian trade

该项目旨在通过展示澳大利亚土著与东南亚文化和贸易网络的联系，改变我们对澳大利亚殖民前孤立的理解。该项目将重演和记录澳大利亚土著和印度尼西亚之间深厚和数百年的关系，将制作一系列电影，展示这种贸易联系作为世界遗产地位的文化路线，类似于其他主要贸易路线，如丝绸之路。该项目将记录澳大利亚第一个国际贸易关系的合作、跨文化、纪录片历史，并对地区历史产生深刻的见解，对理解我们的现状具有重要意义。

This project aims to change our understanding of Australian pre-colonial isolation by demonstrating Indigenous Australia's connection to South-East Asian cultural and trading networks. This project, re-enacting and documenting profound and centuries-old relationships between Indigenous Australia and Indonesia, will produce a series of films that will demonstrate this trading connection as a cultural route of World Heritage Status akin to other major trading routes such as the ‘Silk Road’. The project will record a collaborative, cross-cultural, documentary history of Australia’s very first international trading relationship, and produce insights into regional history with significant implications for understanding our present.
