Before 1770: The Journey Home" invites us on an emotional and epic journey into Australia’s past, highlighting the legacy of Indonesian Macassans and Aboriginal Peoples. This groundbreaking documentary tells the story of Muslims in Australia centuries before European arrival.
For hundreds of years, Muslims from Sulawesi, Indonesia, journeyed to Australia to fish for trepang (sea cucumbers). What began as trade soon blossomed into friendship, family, and history.
Capturing moments never before seen on film, "Before 1770" brings to life a profound cultural heritage shared between Australia’s first Muslims and Aboriginal communities, weaving this powerful legacy into our collective story.
