About Keeping Hope

Keeping Hope is a one-hour documentary for NITV, exploring the hidden complexities of living in the Kimberley.  The remote region renowned for its stunning tourist destinations has become a place with high rates of suicide among young Indigenous people, and in this documentary producer/presenter Mark Coles Smith (Will Australia Ever Have a Black Prime Minister?) goes on a deeply personal journey to investigate why this is happening and what can be done about it. The creative team also features producer Marlikka Perdrisat and executive producers, Joined Up’s Jacqueline Willinge and Dan Brown.
