After the collapse of pearling, many Torres Strait Islanders are forced to migrate to the mainland for work. Legendary leaders like Eddie Koiki Mabo and George Mye take huge strides towards returning autonomy to the Torres Strait island people, while the tragic sinking of the Malu Sara demonstrates the power still held by authorities over islander lives today.
