Our Voice, Our Heart (ATOM Study Guide)

The sun-drenched landscapes of the Northern Territory form the backdrop for a politically-neutral storytelling approach aimed at fostering learning and connection between Indigenous Australian communities and urban Australians.

Our Voice, Our Heart chronicles the transformative journey of two First Nations men, Jaxon De Santis and Justin Grant, as they grapple with their uncertainty about the impending Voice to Parliament referendum. Motivated by the glaring knowledge gap between urban dwellers and remote Indigenous communities, Jaxon and Justin embark on a journey to understand the perspectives of those most affected by the referendum. Their quest is to find their own voices and empower others to do the same.

Our Voice, Our Heart is an open invitation to embark on a shared journey of understanding, guided by the wisdom and experiences of diverse First Nations communities across the Northern Territory.
