The views of the young indigenous people of Newman have been given a higher profile thanks to a short film produced by Martu artist and filmmaker Curtis Taylor and Fremantle filmmaker Nathan Mewett.
Youth Voices was screened publicly for the first time at the Newman Futures launch, highlighting the key role that Aboriginal youth will play in fulfilling the town’s potential.
The theme of Kujungkarrinjangka, or coming together, runs through the film as it offers a positive look at the hopes and aspirations of a range of young people who describe their lives centred on work Martumili Art Centre and Martu Farm, playing sport or gathering at Newman Youth Centre to play games or watch movies.
