Wongi Warrior premiered last night in YWAM Perth
This extremely well done 45 minute movie was made by our fellow YWAMers here in Perth. It addresses issues of racism, violence, teen suicide, reconciliation, and forgiveness as it follows a boy's drawings and recollections of his life and the life of his grandfather - a war hero, who fought in WWII. The vision of this movie is to bring honour and dignity to Aboriginal people, in particular the Wongi people, while also being a platform for conversation and healing about the issues that they face today.
These "movie makers" are not professional and had no real budget to work with. But they relied on God every step of the way and it is by far one of the best made films I've ever seen.
God is a vision-giver and the one that makes it happen!
