|
Harold is a documentary about the life of a gifted singer who found a sense of his own humanity through travelling abroad. It was through this exposure to other cultures and social political environments that Harold gained a wider context in which to view the living situation of Indigenous peoples in Australia. This emergent awareness politicised Harold’s voice, with Harold Blair becoming increasingly driven by the plight of his people.
Harold as a documentary gives us a good sense of the man, artist, father, husband, and cultural ambassador. Featuring interviews with wife Dorothy, daughter Nerida and son Warren, we get the sense of the large presence Harold Blair had – not only in the artistic world, but within his private world also. The pressure of being such a prominent figure during his career was in fact one shared by his family. There is good archival footage used in this documentary as well as an opportunity to hear Harold Blair sing. A big voice, a big man, who carried on his shoulders huge responsibilities. |
