Mabo tells the story of Eddie Koiki Mabo, the Torres Strait Islander who left school at 15 years old, yet spearheaded the High Court challenge that once and for all overthrew the notion of terra nullius. Hand in hand with this David and Goliath legal battle is the tender love story of Eddie and Bonita, the woman he met as a teenager and loved for through 30 years of marriage and the raising of 10 children. It tells of the deep love and partnership that fuelled their fight for Australian law to recognise tradtional land rights. Sadly Eddie Mabo never lived to hear the High Court’s decision that returned his land to him but the name Mabo has become known nationwide.
