Yurlu | Country Debuts at Sydney Film Festival

“One of the most compelling stories in Australia at the moment.” - Peter Garrett, Midnight Oil

YURLU | COUNTRY marked its powerful debut to sold out sessions at Sydney Film Festival with the family of the late Maitland Parker, representatives from the Banjima Native Title Aboriginal Corporation (BNTAC) and other special guests in attendance including Peter Garrett of Midnight Oil and ‘Blue Sky Mine’-fame, a song about the ill-fated impacts of blue asbestos mining at Wittenoom. Watch what they had to say on the night about this landmark, intimate film made in collaboration with Elder Maitland Parker about his struggle to heal his Country, scarred by what Banjima call ‘Australia’s Chernobyl’ – the largest contaminated site in the Southern Hemisphere.
