I Have a Dream Mural

I Have a dream - The Making of a Mural

The Martin Luther King mural in Newtown, Sydney, is one of the most iconic and recognisable pieces of street art in Australia. What is less well known are the circumstances surrounding its making. This documentary goes back to those heady days and speaks to some of those involved at the time, including artist Juilee Pryor.

KRISTY MEETS JUILEE PRYOR

Kristy Day from pedroTV meets Juilee Pryor @ the after party for I Have a Dream mural documentary Premiere.Townhall Hotel Newtown Sydney 7-6-2012

I Have A Dream : The Making of A Mural is the incredible story of the making of the Martin Luther King mural in Newtown, Sydney.
Description
This documentary is about an unlikely partnership between two mismatched visual artists; a 3 storey mural created in the dead of night using stolen paint and a borrowed cherry-picker; and an illegal artwork that became Newtown's unofficial symbol, standing at the gateway to Sydney's Inner West. King Street's Martin Luther King mural has endured for 20 years and, despite its origin as grafitti, i...t has won a permanent place in the hearts of the locals who identify with its message of tolerance.
It's the story of how street artists Andrew Aiken (a foreigner, committed christian and murderer on the run) and Juilee Pryor (alternative artist and single mother, struggling on the poverty line) created a series of remarkable murals that changed the urban landscape in Erskineville and King street in the 1990s, including the iconic Martin Luther King.

The documentary is nearly finished, and will have its first screening at the end of May. We are hoping to also sell it as an acquisition to TV broadcasters in Australia and overseas, as well as screen it in film festivals.

Maurice Franco - The Canvas Project Ep 5

Maurice Franco began his spiritual and artistic journey at the age of sixteen, starting with the desire to know the truth of life. Spending the last three years painting in front of the I Have a Dream mural on Newtown's King Street, Maurice Franco shares a certain affinity with the space in which he paints what he describes as the volcanic power of creation. Canvas caught up with the man behind the paintings, and it's really not easy to express in so short a space the immense and sublime cosmic philosophy of Maurice Franco.

Lyrics: The Newtown Song

I get to sleep in today
how I love my holiday
have some toast with strawberry jam
try and make myself look glam
I take myself up to King Street
People there are weird but sweet,
Oh the things you'll see
Goodness Gracious me

Looking for Dave selling Big Issues by the street cafe,
stop and have a chat you know he'll ask you to
Lend me your ear won't you - that's what Newtown people do
it's kind of like the country, breathin' in the city - come on down
Come on down to Newtown, come on down

There's politics in the air
say your peace but don't you stare
Feel the sun upon your face, feed the busker's blue guitar case
Shaved heads, pierced noseys, I say life is kinda rosy
Oh the things you'll see
Goodness Gracious me

Night time's happening at the Sando, bands are pumpin' at the Marlborough,
find yourself a dancing treat, you can find it here on King Street
How 'bout a five, I'm quite poor,
I think I've heard those words before
Oh the things you'll see
Goodness Gracious me

Looking for Dave selling Big Issues by the street cafe
stop and have a chat you know he'll ask you to
Lend me your ear won't you - that's what Newtown people do
it's kind of like the country, breathin' in the city - come on down
Come on down to Newtown, come on down

Come on down to Newtown
Come on down
Come on down to Newtown
Won't you come on do~ww~nn~!

Taser gun use criticised after a man was killed by NSW Police officers

he Australian public and governing bodies have criticized the way the taser gun is being used by authorities and some people have even accused the Australian police force of brutality.
NSW Police Commissioner Andrew Scipione who spoke at a news conference defended the use of the taser gun which led to the death of the man in his 20's on Monday.
Scipione said that two officers had been called to the home of a female victim who had claimed to have been sexually assaulted.
The officers who went to the front then rear of the house was confronted by a man armed with two knifesin which the officers made a split second decision which I believe may have saved their lives continued Scipione.
Scipione said One officer armed with a taser was able to discharge the weapon at a close range to disable the offender, had he not been successful I certainly believe the consequences could have been tragic for one or both of the officers.
The taser camera footage has been reviewed and that footage supports that view.
However the time of the death could not have been any worse for the Australian police force after another man was killed just 24 hours previous.
Steven Bosevski had died after being sprayed with capsicum spray and hit with a baton by officers after a fight broke out at the St George Leagues Club.
Scipione who also spoke of Mr Bosevski's death has said the autopsy result shows that Bosevski had not received any physical injury that could have caused death by the police officers.
