Episode Details

Gemma Bird Matheson is an actor/writer/producer of South African and Papua New Guinean heritage. Self-identifying as a queer, Papua New Guinean Christian, Gemma's journey has been an interesting one, particularly when it has come to selecting roles that she can see herself in and relating to. She was a finalist for the 2018 Heath Ledger Scholarship and starred in AACTA and International Emmy Nominated ABC series Content, which also won a prolific Rose D'Or award.

She has become an example of Pacific excellence outside the islands and with a wild journey of a life story (that is continuing to unfold) to share, Gemma shares some of her experiences with Stories From The Pacific.
