The short documentary “Know the Past, Change the Future” recounts the life experiences of Billy Riley, an Indigenous elder from Kojonup, Western Australia.

Billy tells his story as part of his tours at the Kodja Place Cultural Centre in Kojonup. However we also had a chance to sit down with him and get deeper view into his story. From living on the Kojonup reserve as a child to working on farms in his younger years, he recounts the struggles of growing up in a world of racism.

A massive thank you to Billy Riley, Jill Watkins, and the staff of The Kodja Place for allowing us to share this story.
