In 1964 Francis Roberts, Australia’s first Indigenous Olympian, travelled to Japan to compete in the Tokyo Olympics. There was one catch – he couldn’t use an Australian passport because Aboriginal people weren’t considered citizens.
In this uplifting evening of storytelling, one of the preeminent cultural figures of her generation, Rhoda Roberts AO, introduces us to her cousin Frank, a man who spent his entire life fighting tirelessly, both in the boxing ring and for his family and culture.
At the heart of My Cousin Frank is the powerful narrative of resilience and the pursuit of excellence in the face of adversity.
