Darby In a Life Time Ken Callander
This dramatised feature documentary "In a Life time" is the inspiring life story of Australia’s most successful Indigenous jockey, Richard Laurence "Darby" McCarthy.
Told by Darby and through the interviews and recollections of those who have known and worked with him over his racing career, and then on through his post racing career, where Darby become a mentor for many young people supporting their endeavors through incentive and educational programs specifically initiated by Darby McCarthy, who received an honorary doctorate from the Southern University of Queensland for this work, an OAM (order of Australia award) from the Australian Government, also named one of Queensland’s "Greats" (by the Queensland Government) and on the 14th May 2021 inducted into the Australian Racing Hall of Fame (twelve months after passing into his dreamtime)
Darby would say, not bad for a “Young Fella” from Cunnamulla who didn’t go to school.
Darby McCarthy life is mixed with triumphs then there were scandals, disasters and injustices that plagued his racing career and reputation, and indeed nearly cost him his life.
To return from those dark places, to become a role model, Darby does his part in advancing the breakdown of barriers between Aboriginal people and white Australians.
Olympian, Cathy Freeman, freely acknowledges Darby as a key mentor in her teenage years in the 1980s, as he was rebuilding his own life.
