Everyday Brave profiles First Nations Australians who have fought daily battles against discrimination, apathy and ignorance to make a real difference. They come from across the country – bush and city – and are often largely unknown outside their communities. Their achievements are spread across the arts, commerce, education, health and politics but all these people are defined by their unwavering commitment to the promotion of First Nations rights, culture and identity. Their stories tell of lives marked by struggles and hardship but lightened by joy and humour. In this series, they share with us their unique perspectives and their ideas for the future.

A note on the definition of this title: The NFSA is pleased to be able to share Everyday Brave on NFSA Player. This series is in SD as the digital preservation of original material and remastering to HD is part of the ongoing work of archives in a digital age. However, we didn’t want to wait to share this remarkable title with you. We thank you for your understanding.
