Archie Roach On Overcoming Adversity
Title:
Archie Roach On Overcoming Adversity
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
Always humble, Archie Roach talks about how he'd like people to view the online Archie Roach curated collection.
He references a candid and heartwarming home movie of him and Ruby playing music in the lounge room while their son Eban is watching television.
Archie resists being seen purely as an inspiration and insists he's no greater or lesser than anyone else.
He says 'I'm just me, I'm just a normal person. No need to be standing on a pedestal, that's for sure'.
This clip is taken from an exclusive interview with the NFSA in 2019.
