SYNOPSIS

For a century, Private William Allan Irwin DCM — a proud Aboriginal soldier who gave his life on the battlefields of France during the First World War—remained unrecognised by Australia.

106 years later, the people of the Somme region in France are determined to honour him with a special ceremony where William will be made an honorary citizen of the Somme. William’s great-nephew, Peter Milliken embarks on a deeply personal journey to France to accept the honour on behalf of his family.

FORGOTTEN NO MORE highlights the overlooked significance of First Nations soldiers in WWI and poses the question “how far Australia still has to go in fully acknowledging the contributions of First Nations people to its history?”
