Bart Willoughby: How and why I wrote the song 'We Have Survived'

Bart Willoughby is an Aboriginal music legend - a singer, songwriter, drummer and multi-instrumentalist who has been playing music for over 30years. Willoughby is a founding member of the South Australian Aboriginal band No Fixed Address, and participated in the 1981 film Wrong Side of the Road.
This clip is part of the NFSA Indigenous team's Wrong Side of the Road Oral History project. It was recorded in June 2013, as part of the reunion at the 60th Sydney Film Festival.

so sorry you had to live the early part of your life in a boys home as young aboriginal children were so frequently taken from their parents and often treated quite cruelly, but so glad that you survived and found a way to express the love within you so that your songs and message could reach out to many others...know that you survived because you had so much to share with so many and healing is something we all seek when trying to understand the past and the impact it has had on so many lives and still continues to do so in so many countries today. so glad to see that you are strong and expressive and the warmth and fire within still glows.
