Archie Roach: Relationship with his fans
Title:
Archie Roach: Relationship with his fans
Year
2019
Warnings
WARNING: Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander viewers are advised that the following program may contain images and/or audio of deceased persons
Archie Roach honours the relationship he has with his fans.
Early in his career he used songwriting as a tool in his healing. Today he is interested in helping people think about important concepts like peace, love and inclusion.
These themes are apparent in the song 'Place of Fire' from his companion album for his autobiography, Tell Me Why (2019).
An Archie Roach concert is a full night of storytelling, singing and yarning. For an example of this, check out Archie Roach Live at the Northcote Social Club (2007).
This clip is taken from an exclusive interview with the NFSA in 2019.
