Sick at heart (A) | Debbie Whitmont | 1991 | ACMI collection

Episode of Series “Four corners (Television program)”.
The appalling statistics on the health of First Nations peoples in Australia - a male life expectancy less than that of Bangladesh, the highest risk of death by murder in the world, are a disgrace to Australia, and whilst there are those who care, there seems to be little hope for the future as many despair of any easy solution. Paul Barry and the Four Corners team table this generally pessimistic report.
