Wirritjin

Wirritjin Wirritjin is the Ramindjeri word for Blackfella-Whitefella Dreaming. Join DJ Terra Nullus in a programme of indigenous music and culture live on BayFM 99.9

This film explores the theme of identity with three main characters: (1) A man who believes indigenous Australians are the first humans to evolve on earth and that all ancient religions stems from the Dreaming; (2) an indigenous elder challenging current politics and issues of sovereignty; and (3) a man who sits between each of these men. Our third character is eager to learn who he is and what does all of this blackfella / whitefella stuff really mean in today's world?

From their home in remote Tjuntjuntjara, we follow The Desert Stars’ first ever tour as they rock their way across the Western Desert with songs of hunter-gatherer life, surviving British atomic testing (at the infamous Maralinga site) and the band’s profound connection to culture, which spans back 2,000 generations.
