- WARNING: Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander viewers are advised that the following program may contain images and/or audio of deceased persons
This is a Japan TV NHK9 news story featuring Archie Roach in concert in Brisbane, circa 1995, on stage with Ruby and his band and a group of Indigenous dancers.
In summary, the news reader talks about the Stolen Generations, the popularity of Archie's songs and the message he brings, and his life story. Historic footage of Aboriginal children with white families features in the segment. We then hear a very brief interview with Archie.
The impetus for this news segment is unclear. NHK is a state-owned Japanese broadcaster aimed at the international market, and this might be classified as a human interest story about a popular performer from another country.
In this case viewers receive a vignette of Archie's life and musical career. As a short profile it seems to be quite well edited and provides a good social context for his music.
