In Part 2 of our conversation on the Black Magic Woman Podcast, I continue my yarn with Sal Balharrie and Dannielle Maclean, the directors behind the moving film Like My Brother. This episode dives deeper into the complexities of creating a film that resonates with community values and represents the voices of young Tiwi women navigating their ambitions in football while staying rooted in cultural identity.

Sal and Dannielle share stories from the film’s seven-year journey, highlighting pivotal moments, including their dedication to obtaining cultural approvals and their partnership with Tiwi co-producers. We discuss how the film evolved from what they thought would be a “footy film” into an exploration of resilience, identity, and the strength required to walk proudly in two worlds. The conversation also touches on the trust built with the featured women and the life-changing experiences they faced, from the joy of winning grand finals to the lessons of returning home empowered with new perspectives.

Join us for this inspiring yarn that underscores the power of storytelling, the resilience of Indigenous communities, and why films like Like My Brother are essential gifts that can change perspectives and bridge divides. Don’t miss it!
