Doco: Before 1770 – The Journey Home

Before 1770 - The Journey Home

A riveting film documentary – An emotional and epic story

This film tells the story of Muslims in Australia before 1770. For hundreds of years before European presence in Australia, Muslims from Sulawesi Indonesia came to Australia to fish for trepang (sea cucumbers). But what began with trade eventually formed friendship, family, and history. This film captures what no film has ever captured on camera.
