The pit of depression

This clip chosen to be G

Clip description

West Australian Aboriginal woman Christine Jacobs talks about existing in a pit of depression and how she managed to overcome these desperate feelings and emotions.

Curator’s notes

Jacobs explains how a photograph of her children, and the thought of how much they needed their mother, helped her not only get out of the pit but to turn her life around and become an inspiration to other people.
