Jana Wendt in Conversation

After decades away from the spotlight, beloved Gold Logie-winning journalist Jana Wendt – who ruled Australian television for nearly three decades – makes a remarkable return. In her debut collection of short stories, Wendt turns her sharp eye and storytelling prowess to the complexities of human nature.

To mark NAIDOC Week, RMIT Europe in collaboration with the Australia New Zealand Spain Business Association and with the support of the Australian Embassy in Spain, is pleased to invite you to a special screening of the powerful documentary The Last Daughter. The Last Daughter is a moving story about reconciliation, identity, culture and belonging. It chronicles the journey of Brenda, an Aboriginal woman who grew up in two very different families and cultures, and her quest to discover where she truly belongs. The documentary will be screened in English.Following the screening, we invite you to join a reception event.
