The Pacesetters conversations are a project of Diversity Arts Australia documenting and recording trailblazing artists’ work from culturally diverse backgrounds.

The interview with Tony Ayers examines how his childhood, cultural identity and family tragedy have shaped his signature approach to storytelling today. Now entering his sixth decade of life, Tony reflects on how he went from orphan to orator of some of our most compelling and original stories on screen.
