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 talks about his musical family. This clip is taken from an exclusive interview with the NFSA from the online Archie Roach curated collection.
It's not hard to understand how their sons became musicians when he and Ruby Hunter played music constantly while they were growing up.
For a lovely example of this check out this home movie of Archie and Ruby singing 'Watching Over Me' with son Eban in the foreground watching television.
