8MMM Aboriginal Radio in Alice Springs runs on the smell of an oily rag, the enthusiasm of its motley Indigenous crew and the misguided intentions of the whitefellas in charge. For the 3Ms of Alice Springs — the missionaries, mercenaries and misfits — saving Aboriginal people from themselves is hard work. Especially Aboriginal people who expect to be heard on the radio and in the office. (6x30min)
