Like holding a fishing net in the rain....John Schumann

As Vietnam washed through the nations consciousness, John became aware that that wars veterans were having a tough time when they came home. That set him on a road of storytelling and seeking justice for those that had fought in Australia's name. Here we speak about finding passion in assisting those with PTSD, about poems, reflections and letters from home, about John being affected by his own songs and touring the outback for discussions on mental health, about the dull and rumbling sound of the desert...and the meaning behind the song Fishing Net in the Rain. In an effort to put a human face to the recommendations of the Royal Commission, John's work continues to move a nation.
