The Drover's Wife is an opportunity for truth-telling, by retelling a colonial story through a Blak lens.


Writer, director, actor and producer, Leah Purcell is a proud Goa Gunggari Wakka Wakka woman and has been at the forefront of our arts sector for decades, telling important stories for mob.

Purcell is hoping The Drover's Wife will create debate and open up meaningful and productive conversations as she chats exclusively to NITV's Bronte Charles.

The Drover's Wife premiered on NITV as part of the networks Always Was Always Will Be line up of programming and can be found on SBS On Demand.
