Summaries

Indigenous students and graduates from around Australia tell of their life-changing journeys through higher education.

Indigenous Models of Achievement tells the stories of Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and their life-changing journeys through higher education. The three part documentary sees 10 students and graduates from locations around Australia describe their amazing journeys to not only improve their lives, but the lives of those around them. Meet the former tap factory worker who graduated with a law degree, the teacher who "fell in love" with a remote community, or the gym worker who was so angry at the way the newspapers reported on Indigenous people, he decided he would change it himself. From remote Bathurst Island, 60km north of Australia's top end, to the bustling streets of cosmopolitan Sydney, Indigenous Models of Achievement showcases everyday Indigenous people who became role models in their own communities.
