Protected is a 1975 documentary film, narrated by Don Brady and Sydney-born producer Robert Hughes.
The film was directed by Alessandro Cavadini (who also made Ningla A-Na, about the Aboriginal Tent Embassy[1]).
The details of what life was like for Aboriginal Australians on Palm Island became more widely known when Alessandro Cavadini and Carolyn Strachan recreated the strike in 1957 by hundreds of the Island's residents even though there was huge resistance from local authorities.
[2][3] Some 22 years later in 2007, Aboriginal activist, and convicted Palm Island rioter Lex Wotton presented a screening of the film to the Film Fanatics Society at Petersham Bowling Club.
