A story of love, passion and justice . . . MABO tells the story of Eddie Koiki Mabo (Jimi Bani – The Straits, RAN), the Torres Strait Islander who left school at fifteen, yet spearheaded the High Court challenge that once and for all overthrew the notion of terra nullius. Hand in hand with this David and Goliath legal battle is the tender love story of Koiki and Bonita (Deborah Mailman – Offspring, The Secret Life of Us, The Sapphires), the woman he met as a teenager, and loved through thirty years of marriage and the raising of ten children. It tells of the deep love and partnership that fuelled their fight for Australian law to recognise traditional land rights. Although Koiki never lived to hear the High Court’s decision that returned his land to him, the name Mabo has become known nationwide.
