Honouring legacy.
We were engaged by First Nations Eye Health Alliance to capture Aunty Janet’s story - tracing her decades-long career in eye health across remote Aboriginal communities. Our team travelled to Broome to film with her on Country, grounding the story in place, culture, and connection.
Janet Richardson (Puertollano) is a Baard and Yawuru Ooranyg/Ngala Jandu (Salt Water woman) from the Dampier Peninsula in the West Kimberley. Her work has shaped access to eye health services for generations, earning recognition including the Kullarri NAIDOC Award – Lifetime Contribution to Health.
Created to accompany her keynote at the Alliance’s 2026 conference at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, this film brings together story, impact, and legacy - capturing the depth of her contribution and the communities she continues to serve.
