For the first time in Australian television history, Aboriginal people are given the opportunity to express themselves and discuss all their problems, which they feel have prevented them from taking their rightful place in Australian society. In his introduction, Aboriginal musician, Jimmy Little explains that some of the people in this documentary are inarticulate and shy, unused to talking to white people, much less a camera. The film includes a look at the lives of Aboriginal people from central Australia who achieved success in the non-Aboriginal world, through work or sports. As role models, these people present a pathway for others in gaining a foothold in the dominant society. A successful young Aboriginal man living in the city advocates for Aboriginal people to maintain their unique cultural identity as they make the transition into the non-Indigenous world.
