This film by Jeff McMullen tells the story of the East Coast Encounter project, where a group of artists (who all feature in the exhibition of the same name) re-visit Australia’s East Coast and the key places where Cook Landed and got his first impressions of the country and its inhabitants. The artists express their views and reflect on the impact of this event in the lives of Australia’s Indigenous peoples and the generations to come.
