Director Statement

This project is one that I hope connects with people deeper than most Aboriginal documentaries and tells a story of community, education and the hope for a better brighter future.

It was my pleasure to be apart of this story with such rich history and great uplifting stories and with pride to give my all into doing the justice that Mary Williams- Cooper deserves.

I have learnt so much on this journey and believe that the wider community should to!
