Clip description

Freda Glynn (director of CAAMA), Voya Rajic (head of production, SBS TV), Dion Weston (station manager, Imparja TV), Horace Winitja (PY Media Committee), Rhoda Roberts (producer, SBS TV), David Hill (managing director, ABC) and Phillip Batty (deputy director, CAAMA) talk about the impact of television on Indigenous communities and the potential brought about by the introduction of the satellite.

Curator’s notes

Specialists in media speak about the effects of television upon Indigenous communities, cultural practice and identity. The satellite increased the potential for Western culture to access Indigenous spaces, and the media practitioners introduce the main themes of the film in this clip.
