The Word - Alice Eather - Documentary

“I can’t take my father’s side and I can’t take my mother’s side, but I can light a fire in the middle and bring everyone there.” The wonderful words of Indigenous poet Alice Eather (who is sadly no longer with us). It’s a privilege to be able to share Alice’s story and celebrate her poetry as part of our series The Word, which we initially shot for ABC iView. On Thursday we will be posting a portrait Alice’s incredible poem Yúya Karrabúra (Fire is Burning). Want more films like this?
