AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'In a landscape where contemporary Australia continues to struggle with questions of how to reconcile its national identity with its Indigenous roots, with contemporary Indigenous Australians, and with how it imagines its future, this film explores the notion of friendship and the role cross cultural friendships have to play in reconciliation. It looks through the prism of the Namatjira family, who live in Western Aranda country in Central Australia, in exploring the notion and reality of friendship. The story of their grandfather, Albert Namatjira – internationally acclaimed watercolour painter and the first Indigenous Australian citizen – is iconographic and nationally significant to the Australian narrative.'
