In Australia Day 1972, four young Indigenous activists arrived on the lawns of Parliament House in Canberra. They had little idea their small protest would turn into a major defining period of Australia's modern history. The Aboriginal Tent Embassy became a national voice for Aboriginal Australians, and played a major role in the creation of the first Australian land rights legislation. With rarely seen images and interviews, EMBASSY DAYS presents this raw and emotional time as it was captured.
