JOURNEY HOME, DAVID GULPILIL

David Gulpilil, a Yolŋu man of the Mandhalpuyngu clan, was one of Australia's most outstanding Indigenous film actors. Since his 1971 debut in Nicholas Roeg's film 'Walkabout', he mesmerised audiences, appearing in numerous films including 'Storm Boy', 'The Tracker', 'Ten Canoes', 'My Name is Gulpilil', 'Rabbit-Proof Fence', 'Australia', 'Crocodile Dundee' and 'The Last Wave'.

'Journey Home, David Gulpilil' is the story of Gulpilil's journey home after his passing in 2021, back to his birthplace, the centrepiece of which is his Bapurru ceremony in Marwuyu near the Arafura Swamp and the remote community of Ramingining, Eastern Arnhem Land in the Northern Territory of Australia.

Narrated by Academy Award® nominee Hugh Jackman with Storyteller Danzal Baker AKA Baker Boy, this remarkable documentary is a rare insight into a powerful ceremony of renewal and regeneration and is told completely from the Yolŋu perspective, and that of his family.
