| Summary |
*Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander viewers are advised that the following program contains images and voices of people who have died*In this series we get to know five of Australia's most talented and ambitious Indigenous people as we recognise and celebrate them. The Wenitongs: they're proud, and if necessary, they can be loud - sending out their message far and wide. Mark Wenitong and his children, Joel and Naomi, are determined to make the world a better place whether it's through medicine or the healing power of music. The Wenitongs are an inspirational family who draw their strength from generations of dedicated elders whose legacy lives on in the work of Dr Mark Wenitong, one of Australia's first crop of Indigenous GPs, and two of his musically gifted children, Joel and Naomi, who form two thirds of the hip hop group, The Last Kinection. Overcoming personal hardships, including a life threatening car accident, is the fuel that fires this talented and grounded trio to strive for successes that leave a positive mark on society at large. Hailing from the Kabi Kabi nation of South East Queensland, as they are making a name for themselves around the country they always remember who they are and where they come from.PRODUCTION DETAILS:ABC TV Production.
