| Kanyini |
Aboriginal tribal elder Bob Randall is native to the desert area surrounding the greatest monolith in the world - Uluru in Central Australia.
Based on his own personal journey and the wisdom he learnt from the old people living in the bush, Bob succinctly outlines how colonisation depleted his people by destroying their 'kanyini', a Pitjantjatjara word encompassing spirituality, community, land and family.
This is not only a story of one man and his people, but the story of the human race.
