From the sand hills of Port Augusta to the bustling streets of Adelaide, Dusty Feet Mob's young
Aboriginal performers dance their way into the hearts and minds of their enraptured audiences, using
the power of song and dance to help heal the pain of the past. As they prepare to perform their
signature dance to Archie Roach's iconic song, 'Took the Children Away', the dancers and their
dedicated supporters offer creative, inter-generational and deeply emotional insights into the story of
the Stolen Generations, determined to carry on Uncle Archie's legacy - the past will not be forgotten.
Acclaimed musician Archie Roach and Port Augusta's Dusty Feet Mob dance group are the focus of
''Dusty Feet Mob - This Story's True'' (2019), a short documentary which shares healing stories of the Stolen
Generations.
One of two 2019 documentaries from Change Media / Tallstoreez Productions which were made through the Port Augusta Emerging Film Development Program. The films are 'The Mulka Man' (2019) and 'Dusty Feet Mob: This Story's True' (2019).
'Dusty Feet Mob' are more than just an Aboriginal dance group, they are a community that nurtures
strength, confidence and dignity, their work offering connections for both Aboriginal and non Aboriginal people to grow in acceptance, understanding and empathy together.
''Dusty Feet Mob - This Story's True'' (2019) is one of two documentaries, alongside ''The Mulka Man'' (2019), created
through the Port Augusta Emerging Film Development Program, a series of development and
production workshops for emerging Aboriginal screen creatives held from July to October in 2019,
funded and presented by the SAFC through its Aboriginal Screen Strategy, along with Country Arts SA
with support from the City of Port Augusta, delivered by Change Media, with additional support from
the Australia Council for the Arts.
