Outback Kids (2011) – Ep1

Outback Kids (2011) – Ep1 – Alan Brahminy has created a tough love initiative for young people to find their way again, through teaching culture, respect and resilience. The Brahminy Group treat a wide variety of kids at their facility deep in isolated bush in the Northern Territory. It’s a place of last resort for chronic drug abusers, juvenile offenders, petrol sniffers, gang members, child prostitutes and the emotionally traumatised. Aged between 12 and 16, the kids are a mixture of boys and girls, black and white, rich and poor; some are funded privately others by state government welfare departments. But what unites these kids is the severity of their problems: they are at the end of the line and this place, far from the toxic temptations and traumas of their usual lives, represents the kids’ last chance of salvation.
