'Riyawarray: Common Ground' a film that honours and celebrates Yolngu (Aboriginal) customary law and culture. Our right to live our lives as free people without the inappropriate impositions of the Australian Federal Government's Emergency Responce the Intervention.
This powerful snapshot documentary on Yolngu rites, rights and rituals as expressed through the recent Yirritja Ngarra Ceremony, was filmed at Milingimbi in early August featuring Mathew Dhulumburrk, Ganygulpa Dhurrkay and Keith Lapulung (Dhamarrandji).
