"Perhaps the most valuable result of all education is the ability to make yourself do the thing you have to do, when it ought to be done, whether you like it or not; it is the first lesson that ought to be learned; and however early a man's training begins, it is probably the last lesson that he learns thoroughly."

The Berlin International Film Festival presented a new Australian film called "Bran Nue Dae." The film is based on the celebrated musical by indigenous playwright Jimmy Chi and utilizes toe-tapping tunes to deliver messages of reconciliation and land rights and stars Ernie Dingo.
Ernie Dingo's television career is particularly significant for the way it has broken new ground in the medium's presentation of cultural difference. Initially taking roles scripted specifically for an Aboriginal actor by white writers and directors, he has worked consistently to broaden expectations of what Aboriginality can include and to introduce and popularise an understanding of Aboriginal perspectives on Australian life.
In this week’s Inspired Minds Ernie Dingo speaks to Breandбin O’Shea about the significance of the film "Bran Nue Dae" for Australia’s Indigenous people and how this film is really an extension of the apology made by Australia’s Prime Minster Kevin Rudd to the Australian Aborigines in 2008.
