Wik Vs QueenslandJune 2, 2025

This landmark feature documentary surrounds the historical court decision in 1996 by the High Court of Australia, granting native title to the Wik People of Cape York, and the demonisation that followed at the hands of politicians and media. With unique access to the key players of that moment in history, and featuring never-before seen footage of the two (then) young lawyers, Noel Pearson and Marcia Langton, Wik Vs Queensland tells a very personal story set against the backdrop of a tumultuous time in Queensland’s history.

Wik Vs Queensland was broadcast on NITV at Monday 2 June 2025, 15:20. This episode was initially placed on Monday 3 June 2024.
