The story

What Is The Coolbaroo Club About?

The premise of The Coolbaroo Club without spoilers.

A documentary chronicling the Coolbaroo Club, the only Aboriginal‑run dance hall in a city governed by unofficial apartheid. It attracted Black musicians and celebrities from across Australia and overseas, became famous for packed Coolbaroo dances that united Aboriginal patrons with white supporters, and gave rise to the Coolbaroo League—a newspaper‑publishing political group that spoke out for Aboriginal rights.
