The spotlight was on Uki at the Nextwave Youth Film Awards, Australia’s largest regional youth film celebration, which was held in Coffs Harbour recently.
The Robbery, a film made by young Olivia, Ben, Luca, Natalie and Charlie was chosen as a finalist in 2020 and this was the film-makers’ time to shine. Olivia and Luca travelled to the event with their families and walked the red carpet with their teacher Julia Crump as the cameras flashed.
Everyone watched with anticipation as their film was shown on the big screen, and it was applauded by an appreciative audience.

Claudia Jones (1915-1964) is hardly unsung, given the growing number of books and film documentaries on the woman who, on indisputable merit, is interred immediately to the left of Karl Marx in Highgate Cemetery.
In this account of an extraordinary Caribbean communist, David Horsley’s focus is on Jones’s life in advancing class, race, and gender resistance to the racist system of imperialism in what George Jackson called “the belly of the beast.”
Horsley describes her intense engagement as an activist member, first of the Communist Party USA (1936-1955) and then, following her deportation as a “dangerous, disloyal or subversive” person, the Communist Party of Great Britain (CPGB) (1955-64).
