This illuminating, buoyant documentary traces the 4,000km trip to return the legendary Yolŋu actor to remote East Arnhem Land

25/10/2025

The Journey Home, David Gulpilil team are deeply saddened by the news that David’s closest sister, and Joyce Malakuya Malibirr’s mother Mary, passed away this morning.

The film’s South Australian Premiere is this afternoon at the Adelaide Film Festival where the journey began.

The screening will be dedicated to Mary with a special tribute song by Witiyana Marika.

Mary passed away at home and was surrounded by her loving family. Her Yolngu name has been withheld out of respect.

The family are happy for the film to continue to be shown in memory of Mary and David’s bright spirits, who were often described as twins.

Journey Home, David Gulpilil charts the sacred final journey of the late actor back to his ancestral homeland in Arnhem Land. Co-directed by Maggie Miles and Trisha Morton-Thomas, it follows his family’s extraordinary mission to carry out his dying wish - travelling thousands of kilometres by land, air, sea and foot.

More than a travelogue, it is a ceremony, a homecoming, and a celebration of unbroken cultural ties. Narrated by Hugh Jackman and Baker Boy, this intimate film honours Gulpilil’s legacy with rare grace, where grief, tradition and kinship converge.
