The Aboriginal Australian screen legend David Gulpilil takes us on the journey that was his extraordinary life and career.
Director: Molly Reynolds
Overview
“This film is about me. This is my story of my story.” After his terminal cancer diagnosis in 2017, the Indigenous Australian screen legend David Gulpilil sits down in front of the camera one last time to tell his story in his own words, taking us on the journey that was his extraordinary life and career. Facing death and, finally, going by his own script, he talks about his life and its dizzying mix of traditional Aboriginal culture and modern Hollywood excess.
