This film explores the pressures experienced by Aboriginal women living in the city, and the effect that these pressures also have on their men and their children. In spite of all life's difficulties, the women seem to survive the urban environment better than the men. Their humour, intelligence and resilience in the face of adversity shines through. When asked if they wanted to change anything in the content of this film, the participants' response was 'it tells the truth and that is what is important'.

(1975, 51 mins) Made for the Department of Aboriginal Affairs. A Film Australia Production.
