Geraldine Doogue talks to Australian singer-songwriter Archie Roach about his journey of survival and transformation. One of the Stolen Generations, Archie Roach survived a turbulent upbringing to develop into a powerful voice for Indigenous Australians. More recently he’s experienced the death of his soul-mate Ruby Hunter, and two life-threatening illnesses. All have hit him hard. But he’s transcended these crises emerging with a renewed spirit, love and joy for life, and a new album featuring Gospel music for the first time. To mark the start of NAIDOC Week 7 – 14 July (National Aborigines and Islanders Day Observance Committee) Compass charts Archie Roach’s story.
