Archie Roach on people loving his music

  • NFSA IDNHGWP787
  • TypeTelevision

  • FormSeries
  • GenresIndigenous-produced, Folk music, Indigenous themes or stories, Indigenous as subject
  • Year2009
  • WARNING: Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander viewers are advised that the following program may contain images and/or audio of deceased persons

This is an excerpt from an interview on The Chocolate Martini where Archie talks people connecting with his music.

Archie's humility stands out in this clip. It's obvious why he's so beloved in Australia and around the world.

The interviewer wisely chooses not to interrupt Archie as the camera stays fixed on a big close-up of him. The effect makes his words all the more powerful.

While there are a few jump cuts made in post-production, it doesn't diminish the recording.
