This is the grand finale of Season 2, and we are closing with a story that hits straight to the heart. Proud Murrawarri and Filipino artist Dobby steps up to the mic with Fight, a powerful exploration of Country, community, and song.

For Dobby, music is not just about beats and bars. It is a way to speak to his people, honour his roots, and protect what matters most. In this episode, he takes us deep into the role of music as a form of protest, connection, and healing. We hear about the lessons that shaped him, the mentors who believed in him, and the moment he realised that his voice could carry much more than a melody.

From the rhythm of the streets to the sound of the river, Dobby shows us how song can unite generations, inspire change, and keep culture alive. It is both a call to action and a celebration of the fight we all carry in our hearts.

This is the penultimate episode of the season and the final story from proud Larrakia and Meriam Mir storyteller Aaliyah-Jade Bradbury. Big Esso, meaning “big thanks” in Torres Strait Creole, is a love letter to the women in her family and to the islands that shaped them. It is a story that could only be told by a First Nations woman and it carries the unshakable rhythm of the Torres Strait.

Aaliyah takes us into the heart of her lineage, from her great-grandmother, a fierce matriarch with fire in her voice, to her trailblazing mother and grandmother who carved their place in spaces not built for them. Through their stories, we see the strength, humour, and quiet resilience that has been passed down through generations of women who refused to be small.

Set against the backdrop of saltwater Country, Big Esso captures the beauty of connection to place and the responsibility that comes with legacy. It is both a personal reflection and a celebration of Torres Strait Islander identity, womanhood, and survival.

In this episode we return to Micah Kickett for his final story of the season. A proud Koori and Noongar man, Micah has already shown us the power of blending sharp wit with deep reflection. Now he takes us somewhere more personal, back to Western Australia and the Mogumber Mission, once known as the Moore River Native Settlement.

It is a place heavy with history and part of the Stolen Generations. Many Aboriginal children were taken here, including Micah’s Uncle Roger. But this story is about more than loss. Walking side by side, Micah and Uncle Roger revisit the mission grounds to uncover the memories and connections that live there. Some are painful, some are tender, and all are told with honesty and heart.

Through their conversation, we see how healing can come from returning to the places that shaped us, and how sharing our stories can reclaim the spaces that once tried to silence them. It is a moving reminder that the past is never just behind us. It lives in the land, the people, and the choices we make today.
