The Kimberley Man

30min documentary commissioned by NITV

The Kimberley Man tells the dramatic and triumphant story of the late Ernie Bridge’s epic rise to become Western Australia’s first Indigenous Parliamentarian. Told from the unique perspective of Ernie’s grandson, filmmaker Jeremy Thomson, this documentary is a revealing look at his grandfather’s role in giving the Aboriginal people of the Kimberley an unprecedented voice in Western politics and insight into the fascinating obstacles overcome in the name of progress.
