In 2001, a group of First Nations teens from Yarrabah in Far North Queensland saved up to go to Hollywood. Never in their wildest dreams did they think they could go to America, yet, through their own determination, saving for over 18 months, $1 at a time, they learned that the world was their oyster. Twenty years later, and with 50 hours of film footage capturing their life-changing Hollywood experience, they still talk emotionally and powerfully about how impactful the trip has been, not only for them, but for their siblings and for upcoming generations in their beloved community for whom they have become eminent mentors.
