Synopsis
Sandra Holmes is a collector of everything Aboriginal - from songs and ceremonies to paintings and carvings. With the help of the eminent artist Yirrawala and the Tiwi people of Melville Island, Sandra built collections which are now national treasures. Her struggle to bridge the gap between white and black Australia, however, has been costly - she has been ostracised and criticised by whites. A profile of a persistent woman.
