WHAT DO WE WANT?
An army of First Nations warriors come out to play in Kamilaroi artist Reko Rennie’s latest action-packed video. In a martial arts dojo, the Sensei cries “What Do We Want?” the students respond, “Land Back! Sovereignty! Freedom!”, vocalising demands of environmental, political and social concern affecting Indigenous people.
