Gurrumul

Celebrated by audiences at home and abroad, Indigenous artist Geoffrey Gurrumul Yunupingu was one of the most important and acclaimed voices to ever come out of Australia. Blind from birth, he found purpose and meaning through songs and music inspired by his community and country on Elcho Island in far North East Arnhem Land.

Living a traditional Yolngu life, his breakthrough album “Gurrumul” brought him to a crossroads as audiences and artists around the world began to embrace his music. GURRUMUL is a portrait of an artist on the brink of global reverence, and the struggles he and those closest to him faced in balancing that which mattered most to him and keeping the show on the road.

Critic Reviews:

• " The music is stunning, and so too are the glimpses of the traditional culture that made him so reluctant to trade Elcho Island for the wider world. " – Karl Quinn

• " I felt the film in my bones, more than my brain. " – Paul Byrnes

• " The perfection of Gurrumul lies in its ability to humanely capture the extraordinary gifts of a man who never compromised his indigenous roots. " – Richard Propes
