The Big Dorrie crew would like to thank all of our supporters and followers and we looking forward to sharing more Big Dorrie's with you in 2022!

In the final episode of The Big Dorrie for 2021, your hosts Naomi Moran and Luke Carroll have a yarn with NRL legend, Koori Mail sport columnist and presenter of NITV’s Over The Black Dot, Dean Widders.

Luke and Nay Dorrie about Dean’s involvement in the epic new film Araatika: Rise Up, written and directed by Larissa Behrendt. Dean yarns about the evolution of a new Dance featured in the film, the importance of telling stories through dance, and how being connected to culture and community makes you strong.

Dean has a Dorrie about his upcoming role as Coach for Parramatta’s NRLW team, and the critical need for the sport industry to provide a better pathway for more coaching and executive roles for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.

So grab a cuppa, kick off your shoes, and join the mob for The Big Dorrie about everything Knowledge, Culture, Country and Connection.
