| Summary |
Olive is 107 years old. She has decided to go home and will make the journey back to Broken Hill where she was born. The trip will trigger memories of things long forgotten, fights, funny moments and events almost too sad to bear. All About Olive was one of the most successful documentaries on ABC TV in recent times. Viewers were drawn to the unquenchable spirit, the life force of this blunt old lady, and came away strangely moved, looking ahead to their own distant years with new and more hopeful eyes. Mike Rubbo is one of the pioneers of the personal documentary, and All About Olive is no exception. It is suffused with the warmth of friendship between film team and subject, and seeks to feel as well as to know |
