ATOM Reconciliation Week Film Program 2026 – FREE Classroom Screeners

In the spirit of sharing stories, ATOM’s Education Shop is bringing Australian First Nations stories to Australian classroom for FREE during National Reconciliation Week.

This is a fantastic opportunity for educators to harness the power of storytelling to open up culturally-respectful dialogue and reflection around Reconciliation Week themes, and it’s significance in Australia.

Join us for this week-long celebration of stories and culture of Australia’s First Peoples. Program access commences Friday 22 May to allow teachers to preview the films before Reconciliation Week.

FILM PROGRAM

1. Mungo (Short Film)
2. Off Country (Feature-length Documentary)

4. From the Western Frontier (Series 3) (Short Documentary / 2 x episodes)
