Kimberely Benjamin is a Yawuru, Bardi and Kija woman from Rubibi/Broome, and proudly living and working on Country. Kimba joined Inez yesterday to discuss the directing and making of SBS & NITV show Our Medicine, as well as directing episodes of Warm Props. Our Medicine is a 6-part series behind-the-scenes look showcasing Blak excellence from across the Country, following First Nations medical trailblazers and traditional healers, who, through their work, care and knowledge are making change and having positive impacts on community. Warm Props is a drama caught between set life and home life, with characters forced to deal with a chaotic film shoot and face the one person she vowed never to see again. Kimba spoke on the importance of mentorship, directing a love letter to medical trailblazers, and advice for the next generation of Blak filmakers.// Senator Lidia Thorpe on Genocide in 'australia' & Palestine and NAIDOC week reflections.//
