Human Frailty
Hunters & Collectors formed in Melbourne in 1981, in the post-punk Melbourne scene surrounding the Crystal Ballroom. The group was an immediate success and they soon migrated to London. However, the core of the band believed that their future was in Australia and they returned.
The Hunters & Collectors breakthrough came in 1986 with the album Human Frailty. The album began with the writing of “Throw Your Arms Around Me”, their most personal and romantic song.
The film reveals the way that Hunters & Collectors developed their unique sound. We investigate the internal issues in the Hunters & Collectors that make them unique. We look at the personal politics the romantic relationships and discover who said “You don’t make me feel like I’m a woman anymore.”
