Organiser Izzy Brown
Organiser of Rock the Boat
Director Izzy Brown : The characters are based on artist that I had the honour to meet and record on my travels doing hip-hop workshops in remote aboriginal communities, refugee camps, slums, prisons and war zones. The scenes set in Australia are based loosely on historical political events that I witness and participate in. Through workshops we have developed the skript with the Melbourne based paticipents incorporating there talent and perspectivesThese experiences have shaped my life and opened my eyes to many of the injustices of the world but also to the hope and power found in music and action to create change.
