From the Western Frontier: Angela’s Rules

In From the Western Frontier NITV showcases Indigenous stories from Western Australia, with Angela’s Rules airing tomorrow night.

Angela’s Rules follows the life of Angela Williams, who from childhood, was destined to become a pop singer. As the eldest of nine girls growing up in Perth, she stood out for her beautiful voice and song-writing talent. Her father, Kevin, was an artist and traditional dancer who inspired Angela to follow a path of creativity. However, life turned upside down for the family when their father was killed in a shocking one-hit punch incident.

At the age of 17, Angela sacrificed her musical ambitions and took on the responsibility of supporting her grieving mother and eight sisters. The grief spurred Angela to express her own feelings through song-writing and ten years later, she is making her mark in the pop world. Angela’s Rules is a poignant and upbeat story of resilience and courage and is a testament to the healing power of creativity.

8.30pm Sunday 7th June on NITV.
