Review of Yolngu Boy (2001) by Private U — 05 Oct 2007
Yes, it's basically a morality play, but excellent nonetheless. Yolngu Boy follows the story of three Aboriginal boys of the Gumatj clan, initiated under one spirit, as they grow up and grow apart.
While the story is somewhat sensational, the film accurately depicts some of the challenges facing contemporary Aboriginal people in Arnhem Land. Excellent cinematography and production values.
