This short documentary was supported by Screen Queensland’s 2020 initiative, Authentic, which was delivered by Australia’s premier regional screen industry organisation, Screenworks, in partnership with the ABC. The initiative was an opportunity specifically for filmmakers in Far North Queensland and extending to North Queensland, to tell the story of a local personality. All three documentaries explore the lives and perspectives of First Nations people. The initiative is part of a series of screen industry opportunities, within the Advanced Queensland Far North Queensland Screen Production Strategic Plan, launched in August 2019.
