Over the weekend, we had the privilege of taking one of our participants to see Journey Home, David Gulpilil. This documentary is a powerful and intimate tribute to one of Australia’s greatest cultural voices, capturing his final wish to return to his ancestral homeland.
The story follows a journey of identity, belonging, Country, and the deep spiritual connection between people and place. It offers a rare window into Yolŋu culture and invites every viewer to pause, reflect, and truly listen.
While the documentary is deeply moving, it did bring out some emotions for our participant, and we shared a few moments cheering her up together. Experiences like these highlight the importance of community access, creating connection, understanding, and shared memories.
If you haven’t seen it yet, we wholeheartedly encourage you to watch Journey Home. It is a beautifully crafted documentary that honours David Gulpilil’s legacy and offers a deeper appreciation for culture, Country, and the stories that shape us.
