	European Network for Indigenous Australian Rights: news
		This Secret Life of Deborah has been unearthed by her fellow Queensland-born colleague Leah Purcell, who has conducted intense interviews with nine Aboriginal women under 35 unashamedly aimed at "triggering emotions" in readers of her new book, Black Chicks Talking, to be published on Monday by Hodder Headline.
		Purcell wants to overcome that with humour and verve and to crash-tackle stereotypes about what Aboriginality is through exploring the lives of "contemporary fl women".
		Purcell's message is that whether fl or fair-skinned, living in city or the bush, those who identify themselves as Aboriginal and have Aboriginal ancestry are Aboriginal.

		EAH PURCELL HAS toured her one woman show, Box the Pony, around the country to universal acclaim, and I am not quoting the irritating publicity hype which unashamedly accompanies the review copy of the text, which is co-authored with writer/director, Scott Rankin.
		Purcell's song, 'Run Daisy Run', which she sang in Brisbane's Street Arts' production of Through Murri Eyes, is now the unofficial anthem of the stolen generation.
		Purcell and Rankin lay it down carefully, neatly defuse its melodrama with wry laughter, then reintroduce the still living horse in order to have it run Steff's suicide car off the road to safety and a new found freedom in flight of a different kind.

		My favourite particpant was Deborah Mailman (especially her jokes) and when Leah did the 'victory dance' with one of the other women.
		It featured a lot of lively discussion about the topics covered in the film, but once the Q&A with the audience started it went off the rails a bit as one of the audience members decided to use it as a forum to air their personal greivances.
		Iggy Pop Live at the A Venue B was a refreshing change from the other films I have seen during the festival as it was straight concert footage of a performance from a couple of years ago in Belgium.
