NITV Radio Kerri-Lee Barry has a conversation with Pauline Clague as she facilitates the story of the Colleano Family as a director.
A landmark NITV commission, The Colleano Heart is a film that traces an extraordinary First Nations family whose courage, creativity and resilience propelled them from early 1900s racism and oppression to global circus stardom at the cost of hiding their Indigenous identity. Warm, joyous and deeply moving, the documentary uncovers a Hidden Generation story fuelled by love, ambition and survival.
Pauline shares with NITV Radio her experience collating archival footage, finding the knowledge holders and sharing the film back with the Colleano family, saying it was "One of my proudest moments of showing them the film".
Set to premiere Monday 19 January, 8:30pm on NITV and SBS On Demand & Monday 26 January, 7:30pm on SBS.
