About
A soaring, evocative audio-visual journey into the life, culture and landscapes of one of Australia's most beloved singers – Dr G Yunupingu.
Blind from birth, Dr G Yunupingu found his identity through song and the haunting voice that has already become legend. His debut album introduced Australia to the Songlines and culture of his Elcho Island community, but now Dr G Yunupingu finds himself increasingly torn between city and country, present and past, self and the community to which he owes so much.
