Media Release

The ten-part series returns on Wednesdays 9pm on NITV from 6 December and Thursdays 3pm on SBS from 7 December (repeated on Mondays 5pm on SBS from 11 December)

Living Black returns to screens for its 15th year and 25th season, with the ten-part series taking a comprehensive look into some of the most important issues affecting Indigenous Australians currently. This season features one-on-one conversations with some of the most recognisable faces in Australia and documentary style storytelling of compelling human stories.

Karla Grant is joined by a team of Indigenous journalists, including Kris Flanders, Elliana Lawford and Nakari Thorpe, reporting from around Australia and giving a voice to a range of perspectives and untold stories.

Arguably the most exciting season yet, host Karla will sit down with musicians Jessica Mauboy, Dan Sultan, Stevie Salas and prominent political figures including Warren Mundine and Kevin Rudd. Journalists Kris, Elliana and Nakari will travel to the small Aboriginal community of Mutitjulu, just one of the 70 communities impacted by the Intervention, cycle across the country to raise awareness for bike safety and Indigenous health in regional and remote Aboriginal communities, and follow the compelling story of Mungo Man returning home.

Karla Grant said: “As Australia’s longest running Indigenous current affairs program, I am proud of Living Black’s longevity. Fifteen years on, as we return to screens for the 25th season, Living Black continues to share Indigenous stories and perspectives, and investigate topical issues, from politics, music and entertainment, to history, sport and cultural preservation.”
