Archie performed this evocative and beautiful song prior to the screening of 'Liyarn Ngarn', a film which tells the story of Louis Johnson. Louis was born Warren Braeden in Alice Springs in 1973. He was separated from his Aboriginal mother as a baby and adopted out to Bill and Pauline Johnson who were told he'd been abandoned. This was untrue.
More on Louis' story in the Eternity exhibition at the National Museum: http://www.nma.gov.au/exhibitions/now_showing/eternity/separation/
Recorded at 'Archie Roach and friends introduce 'Liyarn Ngarn'', National Museum of Australia, 22 January 2011.
