Curator’s clip description

In this documentary about love for Indigenous singles, the subjects are contextualised by demographic. Statistics show that Indigenous Australians are a small percentage of the population – making it difficult for Indigenous singles who want to date other Indigenous singles.

Curator’s notes

This documentary provides both the positives and the negatives of this love dynamic. The players in the documentary are introduced, and we hear their views for and against Indigenous intra-marriage.

Romaine Moreton, curator
