A.b. Original Foreword (feat. Archie Roach)

ARCHIE ROACH: Hey, hey everybody. I'm, I'm Archie, Archie Roach. I was actually born a Mooroopna, and my people are [?] people from south-west Victoria. Yeah, my mum's uh... from uh... from Framlingham, Aboriginal Mission in south-west Victoria. My dad's a Bundjalung man from northern New South Wales. And that's me, Archie.

BRIGGS: Excellent. And um... when you hear a record like the record we put together..

ARCHIE ROACH: Ah, it gave me goosebumps. It's strong, like, you know? Gets your blood up. It's real; it's today. You know? We, we, we marched down the street back in the 70s, 80s, 70s. We marched for land right, we marched for land rights, you know? We walked down the street to Melbourne. We brought that city to a stand-still. We had 2000, and we wouldn't move until we were ready because there's still rights [?] land and so many others things. And listening to your album it just reminds me so much of the old days. And it brings back that time when we did pump our fists in the air because you had to be, you had to be in their face. You had to be in their face.
