“My Family Matters’ celebrates urban, modern Indigenous family life, by capturing real and raw everyday life from within the heart of a home,” said writer and director Dean Gibson.

“We will see strong girls, compassionate boys and parents doing their thing in a very unique and special environment – we will see and feel their growth, surprises and challenges.” said Gibson.

My Family Matters will premiere 8:30pm on NITV, as part of the Karla Grant Presents program.
