Douglas Watkin: Alternative blackfella

Douglas Watkin is a rare creative talent. Working in the medium of documentary filmmaking for over a decade, he has continually delivered documentaries of sensitivity, each time finding a tone that allows the voice of the subject to come through with clarity and compassion. Douglas's role in the documentary making process is much more than that of a suitable conduit - he is a supreme storyteller. As an Indigenous director and storyteller, he understands the importance of the stories he is helping to share. He treats every story with the respect and importance he accords those in his own family and community.
