Join documentary host Aretha Brown (Aretha Brown) on an incredible cinematic journey through time, space and Melbourne, in hopes she can overcome her permanent state of lameness. This documentary program follows the intense transformation of Aretha from “awkward loner” to “cool person”, by talking to some of the coolest people ever known (in Melbourne), as she gains secret insider knowledge in hopes that they can help her to overcome being a social reject. We talk to zany, awe-inspiring people such as fashion designer Milly Peters (Mabel Hutterer), seductive temptress and gallery curator Julian Chambers (Joseph Doggett Williams) and arts student, socialist and proud intersectional feminist from the University of Melbourne Matthew Howe (Myles Carew). Equipped with these newfound tools, we witness what very well could be the coolest... photo ...ever... taken... in Melbourne.

It is driven by interaction: Q&A provides a rare opportunity for Australian citizens to directly question and hold to account politicians and key opinion leaders in a national public forum and Q&A is broadcast live so that not only the studio audience but also the wider audience can get involved. We aim to create a discussion that is constructive, that reflects a diverse range of views and that provides a safe environment where people can respectfully discuss their differences. It’s impossible to represent every view on a single panel or in one audience but we’re committed to giving participants a fair go. In order to be as inclusive and diverse as possible, the program is presented from a range of locations around the country and all Australians are encouraged to get involved through social media as well as by joining the audience. This is an official Australian Broadcasting Corporation YouTube channel.

Aretha Brown speaks to protesters at 'Invasion Day' march in Melbourne Aretha Brown speaks to protesters at 'Invasion Day' march in Melbourne Aretha Brown speaks to protesters at 'Invasion Day' march in Melbourne Aretha Brown speaks to protesters at 'Invasion Day' march in Melbourne Aretha Brown speaks as protesters gather in Melbourne for the 'Invasion Day' march From Coles worker and high school student to the face of the uprising against Australia Day: Meet the Aboriginal aspiring model, 16, brave enough to speak before 50,000 people Face of 'Invasion Day' protest march was 16-year-old high school student and deli worker Aretha Brown Ms Brown - who aspires to be a model, teacher or actor - delivered powerful speech at Australia Day rally She spoke in front of a crowd pegged at 50,000 people strong in the Melbourne CBD on Thursday 'Too long have Aboriginal people been talked about rather than talked to,' Ms Brown told the crowd Her 'amazed' and proud father said Paul Stewart said she comes from a long line of storytellers 'I couldn't believe she had the balls to do it,' Mr Stewart said - but she did A 16-year-old Coles deli worker studying Year 11 at high school became the face of the #changethedate Australia Day protests after seeing an ad on Facebook and asking if she could deliver a powerful speech. The phone hasn't stopped ringing for Aretha Brown since she was moved by her Indigenous heritage and her own experiences to stand up at the biggest 'Invasion Day' protests in years in Melbourne on Thursday. 'Too long have Aboriginal people been talked about rather than talked to,' Ms Brown said in front of up to 50,000 protesters who crowded the streets. 'Too long have we set aside peoples' public holidays over our pain and our history. 'It's not right'. Since her speech Ms Brown has found her picture on the front page of news websites and being hailed by proud friends and family as 'proof this generation has its s*** together.' 'I couldn't believe she had the balls to do it myself,' said her proud father Paul Stewart. But I think it's more the fact ... it represents genocide and all this stuff you shouldn't celebrate. 'A lot of people prioritise their right to a barbeque (over) Indigenous history. 'I do think it should be changed to when Australia had Federation (January 1) or received sovereignty or something like that.' The teenager said she understood people found words like 'Invasion Day' intimidating and said Australia needs 'harmonious reconcilliation'. 'Some people need just to understand (what) the premise of Australia Day is ... before they go out and drink and have a barbeque,' she said. It was the first time Ms Brown had ever spoken at a rally.
