- Join Archie Roach sharing the songs and stories behind his multi award winning 1990 debut album Charcoal Lane. In Ep 18 Archie watches the children of Dusty Feet Mob dance his song, Took The Children Away...
From the sand hills of Port Augusta to the bustling streets of Adelaide, Dusty Feet Mob’s young Aboriginal performers dance their way into the hearts and minds of their enraptured audiences, using the power of song and dance to tell stories of the Stolen Generation and help heal the pain of the past. As they prepare to perform their signature song, Archie Roach’s iconic ‘Took the Children Away,’ the dancers and their dedicated supporters offer creative, intergenerational and deeply emotional insights into the story of the Stolen Generation, determined to carry on Uncle Archie’s legacy - the past will not be forgotten.
Dusty Feet Mob - This Story’s True was created by Aboriginal community members in Port Augusta, in collaboration with award-winning production company Change Media, through an initiative of the South Australian Film Corporation (SAFC), Country Arts SA and the City of Port Augusta.
For Archie Roach, it’s the children carrying on the legacy of healing that makes him especially proud and grateful. Archie said: “In our First People’s culture we have story, song and dance. The story of the Stolen Generations is the story we hear and take in with our minds and the song enters our spirit. But dance helps us to move and weave that story and song through our body. Dusty Feet Mob help us heal holistically; through our mind - the story; through our spirit - the song and through our body - the dance.”
Dusty Feet Mob - This Story’s True is one of two documentaries, alongside The Mulka Man, created through the Port Augusta Emerging Film Development Program, a series of development and production workshops for emerging Aboriginal screen creatives held from July to October in 2019, funded and presented by the SAFC through its Aboriginal Screen Strategy, along with Country Arts SA with support from the City of Port Augusta, delivered by Change Media with additional support from the Australia Council for the Arts.
We are presenting the finished documentary to broadcasters and festivals in 2020. Find the full Media Release here.

Can believe that my dad used to take care of this legendary man! When I asked my dad it was when he was doing these nursing courses and all that leading up to when he became a nurse
I saw this when the dusty feet mob came to my school! And I also listened to the song in class for a history project where I later had to write a poem about it
Such a beautiful , emotional dance to explain how difficult it is for everyone involved in the stolen generation.
So lucky for your music to help the healing process
So Powerful this Song.😌
Thank You Uncle.🖤♥️💛

Thankyou Uncle for this powerful song it helps to heal a missing link in my past, those children in the dance mob are doing a wonderful job bringing this message out
this tears at the heart strings each and every time i hear it so many lives torn apart by small minded people. and all the wrongs committed by supposed religious people to children can never be forgotten. i can only hope when their dreaming begins all the pain is washed over by the feeling of being whole again and the connection to the country is made complete. and they can take solace in knowing their future generations will never have this happen to them thanks to this generations actions. stand proud brothers and sisters we will put an end to the discrimination of our peoples . thank you uncle for making this story immortal in song the whole world will hear .
Love n miss u uncle Archie 🖤💛❤️
