Duration: 60 minutes
Based on a true story, Bila Yarrudhang- galangdhuray (River of Dreams) is an epic story of love, loss and belonging. It’s the latest work from Dr Anita Heiss, whose writing career has encompassed non-fiction, commercial women’s fiction, historical fiction and works for children. A proud member of the Wiradjuri Nation of New South Wales, and a self-described ‘creative disruptor’, Anita’s career as a writer is as unique as it is fascinating.
