First Australians and Double Trouble
04/10/2008
On Australian television, until recently, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, culture or history has often been stereotyped and told from a white perspective. However that is changing, thanks to the emerging talents of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander film makers, actors and workers in the industry.
Awaye looks at two productions which are evidence of that change; The First Australians about to be shown on SBS and Channel Nine's new children's television drama Double Trouble.
Also well known Aboriginal leader Galarrwuy Yunupingu gives his perspective on Indigenous economic independence.
