Frankland discusses his hopes to generate acceptance and awareness of Aboriginality via films such as No Way To Forget and more importantly to ensure a true Aboriginal voice in the Australian cinema of the future.

Includes comments concerning Frankland's experiences as a Feild Officer for the Royal Commission into Aboriginal Deaths in Custody and his objectives for making No Way To Forget.

Includes photograph of David Ngoombujarra as Shane Francis in No Way To Forget.
