Ayan Bacary Egger Jeffrey Provencal Rili Winta Synopsis The documentary examines the historical 1830 proclamation issued by Governor George Arthur in Van Diemen's Land (now Tasmania), which placed a financial bounty on the capture and killing of Indigenous Tasmanian people. Through the reading of archival records and personal reflections, descendants of the Aboriginal survivors confront the legacy of the Black War and government-sanctioned violence.
Production Directed by George Kurwangun, the film focuses on historical accountability by placing First Nations people at the center of the narrative, allowing them to read and respond directly to colonial documents and historical proclamation posters.
Reception Bounty has been featured in several documentary and indigenous film festivals, receiving recognition for its direct approach to addressing colonial history in Australia.
