Why Documentaries was started in the year 2000 because filmmaker Sandra Pires was freelancing with a company, and needed to get paid! Already a storyteller, Sandra joined forces with others like Composer Judy Stubbs and has since told the stories of our past here in the Illawarra and further afield. Like the Mt Kembla mine disaster that stole 96 men and boys from their parents and partners, and the Dalfram Dispute, when our soon-to-be Prime Minister got his Pig Iron nickname.

After all that storytelling, and a celebration at the Warrawong Gala Twin on Saturday 16th of July, Sandra and Judy came into ABC Illawarra to tell *their* story.

WHY? Questioning, Finding and Sharing for 25 Years.

I play in that Frenzal Rhomb band your Dad used to hate. I used to be that guy on triple j. And now I get to ask awkward and awesome questions to people and put the results up here!
