Australia's most accomplished Indigenous jockey, Richard Laurence "Darby" McCarthy OAM, is set to have his remarkable life story captured in the upcoming documentary feature, In a Life Time.

Producers Chris O'Reilly and David Waddington are actively seeking financial backing to bring McCarthy's inspiring journey to its cinematic culmination.

With a targeted funding goal of $200,000 needed to complete the piece, the project has currently secured $88,000, paving the way for potential recognition at prestigious events like the Cannes Film Festival later this year.

"We could probably finish it with what money we got, but it's just not going to be as polished as we want it," Producer Chris O'Reilly and long term friend of Darby said.

"And once you do a film, you don't go back and do it again."

National Indigenous Times has published the story 'In a Life Time': The race to immortalise Darby McCarthy's journey'.
