You don't have to be a pisshead to be Aboriginal: Peter Radoll

Peter Radoll realised over time how integral to values and identity alcohol is for many Aboriginal people: “it makes you [Aboriginal men] closer”. When he stopped drinking he found he did not fit in as before. Yet this identity doesn’t need to last: “it gives me great hope, actually.”

PLEASE NOTE

All the video recordings on this website were made at least a decade ago. Some are fifteen years old.

What the speakers say on camera was based on their own knowledge and researches at the time each video was made. Since then a great deal of information has come to hand which may make some of the information first recorded now outdated. Therefore please regard this website as a period piece presenting knowledge held and believed at the time of recording.
