Glanville Hall was established as a seat of power.

Ninety years later it became a place to support empowerment.

Candice Dixon explores the rich Colonial history of the building, as a grand Victorian mansion where government leaders and royalty dined, to its reincarnation in the mid twentieth century as a home for young Indigenous people, primarily from Central Australia, and also other remote communities.

The home became known as St Francis House, and placed those resident children closer to education and employment opportunities in Adelaide. Despite elements of society being stacked against Aboriginal people, many of them flourished to lead the charge to improve rights for Aboriginal people across Australia.

The boys from St Francis House became leaders in government, business, sport, academia and the arts.

The impact of their legacy is still felt today.

This video salutes those Indigenous people and also those who were bold enough to give them a chance, Percy and Isabel Smith.

This remarkable story is now the subject of a major feature film thanks to the vision and leadership of accomplished Hollywood actor and director, Mark Webber, with the support of Live Heart Productions.
