This coming-of-age documentary shot in the Northern Territory and Victoria is the feature debut of Sal Balharrie and Luritja and Warumungu filmmaker Danielle MacLean, who previously directed an entry in the anthology film We Are Still Here (MIFF 2022) and has written for Mystery Road. Confronting the universal themes of family, ambition and sacrifice through the specific lens of sport, Like My Brother is an inspiring film that will open viewers’ eyes not just to the realities of life in the Tiwi Islands but also to the resilience required to find success as an outsider.
This package of resources is aligned to the Australian curriculum and includes three lessons for Years 9 or 10 English, including guided instructions, activities, scene analyses and more. We've woven through many opportunities to connect with the story, identify key messages, unpack major themes, and study each character and what shapes their identity and motivations.
Like My Brother is a Film by Sal Balharrie under her production company, Naked Emperor in partnership with Tiwi Co-Producers Tictac (Dianne) Moore, and Tammy Abala and Shane Tipuamantamerri (of Mamanta Consulting). We would also like to credit all photographers whose work is featured in this project, including Mark Chew, Patch Clapp, Conor Herber and Sal Balharrie.
