| Summary |
Women of the sun is a remarkable drama series that told the Aboriginal story through the eyes of Aboriginal women in their own language. Now, 25 years later Bob Weis, the producer of the original film sets out to find out the impact of the film on five of the women who played major roles in the original series. His journey - from Arnhem Land to the southern states - reveals a profound and moving tale of discovery, for himself and those he meets. In the film, Bob Weis interviews actor Justine Saunders, actor/playwright Eva Johnson, academic Marcia Langton, and co-writer of the original series Sonia Borg |
