Featuring interviews with prominent Aboriginal leaders, Pat Turner, niece of 'Australia'a Mandela,' Charlie Perkins, Pat Dodson, spearhead of the reconciliation movement, actor/artist David Gulpilil and Jenny Macklin, Minister of Indigenous Affairs, This is Our Country Too puts the world's focus on Australia's indigenous people's forgotten plight and advances the question: How will Australia reconcile with it's indigenous people?
Stars: Descriptions of the great actor David Gulpilil tend to lurch towards colourful adjectives in order to describe what is, in many respects, indescribable. Magnetic, magical, sublime! All of which might sound hyperbolic – if you haven’t seen a David Gulpilil movie.
Doing justice to the life and career of this amazing performer – a fixture of Australian cinema since his breakout performance in Walkabout in 1971 – is no small task, but director Molly Reynolds rises to the challenge sensationally in her moving and poignant new documentary. The film oscillates between his present life in Murray Bridge, South Australia (where he is terribly ill with terminal lung cancer, and is being cared for) and various moments in his long and impressive career.
