The video runs for 56 minutes, celebrating 76 individuals, and acknowledging a further 169. Using photographs, video and audio recordings, it captures the essence of these individuals, their lives and their creative cultural contribution. While the focus is on performers, singers and musicians, it does not ignore significant people in spoken word, dance, collecting and organising. It includes broad representation from across Australia, with every state and territory amply represented. Created by Bruce Watson.
