Leah Purcell has worn a number of different hats across her prolific career. Actor. Director. Author. And yes… even a stint as Shania Twain’s support act.

But beyond the accolades and the awards, it’s her behind-the-scenes work in which she takes the most pride - whether acting as a First Nations cultural advisor on set, or mentoring thousands of Indigenous actors and performers over the years.

Today, Leah sits down with Something To Talk About to discuss the scope of her influential career, but also to speak frankly about her devastation over the Voice to Parliament referendum, the mother whose death she says “set me free” and the difficult but joyous childhood that led her to where she is today.

High Country will premiere with a double episode on Tuesday March 19, exclusively on Binge.
