"The seeds we planted have gotta sprout.”
— Kobie Dee
Father’s Eyes
Gomeroi rapper Kobie Dee teamed up with Māori musician Stan Walker to create his latest track Father’s Eyes.
Celebrating the strength of Indigenous fathers, Father’s Eyes highlights the resilience of families striving to break cycles and challenge stereotypes by raising their children to be proud and strong in their cultural identity.
Filmed on unceded Bidjigal Land, the clip incorporates home videos and Super 8 footage, alluding to past experiences and revealing candid moments of everyday, family life.
