Rachel Perkins, 85 mins, Australia, 2009.

In the summer of 1965, Willie (Rocky McKenzie) escapes from the mission school run by the repressive Father Benedictus (Geoffrey Rush) and heads back home to Broome. Rachel Perkins' film is a joyous road movie that celebrates Indigenous culture and the diversity of human experience.

This lecture explores the contribution of Bran Nue Dae to Australian film culture and the ways in which music and comedy resonate with audiences.
