The 1/2 hour documentary, Lady Lash (working title) will be filmed in Melbourne (Naarm) and on Kokatha country in Ceduna & Koonibba, drawing a thread to delve deeper into Lady Lash’s ancestral connection and the traditional significance of country to the Kokatha women. Lady Lash will return to her homeland and reconnect with her Nana, Senior Elder (Aunty) Sue Coleman- Haseldine (received noble peace prize on behalf of ICAN) to learn traditional practice. The juxtaposition of Lady Lash’s city lifestyle as a MC and mother of three, feeling the graffiti street-scapes combining two musical styles of Hip Hop and Jazz to traditional women’s business is a strong point of difference.
