Our Voices (Nuestras Voces) is a new documentary that tells the story of a group of Spanish-speaking migrants who arrived in Victoria between the 1960s and 1980s, and highlights their contributions to the social and cultural fabric of Australia.
How did you go about collecting the stories you needed for Our Voices?
Many of the people we interviewed were forced to migrate or came on humanitarian reasons. I myself am a migrant to Australia from Latin America – I’m from Colombia. But my migration story is very different because I decided to come here, and I was in a somewhat privileged position. It had its own challenges of course, but I chose to do it.
