Aaron Fa’Aoso is a film producer, director, screenwriter and actor, who also in his first career played professional rugby for the Canterbury Bulldogs.

Life for Aaron has been… so far, so good. His newly released autobiography is titled exactly that, and makes Aaron the first Torres Strait Islander to ever release a commercially published memoir.

In this chat with Jamila Rizvi, Aaron touches on his triumphs and darkest days, what he’s learned and what he wants the next generation of young First Nations men to know.
