First Nations Storytelling

As the world's oldest continuing culture, join a panel of First Nations writers from both screen and print as they discuss the importance of preserving First Nations stories and their experiences producing their own works. Hosted by radio personality and journalist Rhianna Patrick, listen to insights from Leah Purcell (The Drover’s Wife The Legend of Molly Johnson), Tristan Michael Savage (Rift Breaker), Richard Jameson OAM (CEO of Wirrim Media), and Lystra Rose (The Upwelling), as they share their careers and connections to authentic First Nations storytelling.
