Walking in Two Worlds: The Story Behind Like My Brother - Prt 1

View descriptionShare

In this weeks episode I sit down with Sal Balharrie and Dannielle MacLean, directors of the compelling film Like My Brother. The film delves into the intertwined stories of community, culture, and the enduring spirit of Tiwi women through the lens of their shared passion for football—a sport that becomes a metaphor for resilience, identity, and the dual worlds Indigenous people navigate.

Sal and Dannielle share the intricate journey behind bringing Like My Brother to life, starting with Sal’s desire to amplify First Nations women’s voices in sport. We explore the challenges and triumphs they faced, from gaining trust and approval from Tiwi elders and the Land Council to highlighting the importance of cultural consultation and community involvement.

Join us as we discuss why Like My Brother is more than just a film about sport; it’s a heartfelt narrative about pride, cultural strength, and what it takes to walk in two worlds. This episode is filled with insights that resonate beyond film, offering valuable takeaways for anyone interested in cultural storytelling, community collaboration, and the power of representation. Keep an eye out for Like My Brother, previously in Cinemas, coming soon to streaming.
