Wetland Warriors - 'Have You Heard the Word'

Added by Desert Pea Media

Description This production was written, recorded and filmed over 5 days in June/July 2016 in the community of Warren in Western NSW. An outcome of a Desert Pea Media community project with a group of young Indigenous people enrolled at Warren High School.

The project came about through a partnership between Desert Pea Media, Outback Arts, Barnardos Australian and the James N Kirby Foundation. Desert Pea Media projects involve a dialogue-based storytelling process that encouraged participants to analyze 'the real', 'the ideal' and 'the bridge'. In simple terms this means critically thinking about how to create positive change for individuals, for each other and for our communities.

The song is a celebration of survival, resilience, culture and pride, and dedicated to the people of the Beemunnel Aboriginal Reserve. Special thanks to Stephen Greenslade and Fleur Stubbs.
