In a recent ABC interview, Banjima woman Johnnell Parker and filmmaker Yaara Bou Melhem discussed Yurlu | Country, a documentary that presents the ongoing impacts of Wittenoom on Banjima Country.
The interview highlighted the cultural, environmental, and emotional damage caused by decades of asbestos mining, and the continued effects on Traditional Owners and surrounding communities.
The national coverage brings overdue attention to a story long carried by Banjima Elders and families.
