Summary Who We Are: Brave New Clan features six extraordinary young Australians who share what Indigenous culture means to them today in contemporary urban Australia. From the bustling streets of Sydney to the aquamarine vistas of the Torres Strait, their stories span a diverse population across the country and yet share common themes of resilience, courage, optimism and success. The program features: James Saunders, a Gundtijumara on his father's side and Wiradjuri on his mother's side, who through his success as a rugby player, challenges stereotypical perceptions of gay men in Australia and is passionate about Indigenous representation in the media.Actress Miranda Tapsell, a descendent of the Larrakia and Tiwi nations, hopes to help bridge the gap between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians through her work in theatre and film.Engineering student, Harry Sabatino from Sabai Island in the Torres Strait is motivated by the threat rising sea levels pose to his island home and plans to start up an engineering business in the Torres Strait that will employ local people.Wiradjuri man Joshua Toomey's determination and hard work has seen him become NAIDOC Apprentice of the Year and soon, a fully qualified electrical linesman.Kim Isaacs, a Yawuru and Karajarri on her mother's side and Noongar on her father's side, works as a doctor in a medical centre in Broome, WA. In addition to qualifying as a western doctor, Kim learnt traditional Aboriginal medicine from her grandfather and now draws on both disciplines in her practice.Meerooni woman of the Gurang nation, Kaylah Tyson (aka Kaylah Truth), is a successful solo hip hop artist, who recognises the power of music to reach people and make connections
