One of Australia’s great singers and songwriters Archie Roach says he’s more a story-teller than a politician.
“We as a people – First Nations people – we don’t have a monopoly on suffering and trauma,” says Roach – who is touring a show based on his recent memoir Tell Me Why.
“Everyone needs to traverse that landscape and to rise above that.
“So that’s why I’m less political and more universal.
“When you get to the crux, it’s about your story – and how the powers-that-be can destruct your life.
“That’s what it’s about – standing up to that tyranny.”
