Summary:
In the remote Northwestern Territory of Australia, the Galpu clan, an Aboriginal family led by famed didjeridu craftsman and player, Djalu Gurruwiwi, struggles to maintain their ancestral traditions at the face of modern pressures. When Djalu's son displays little interest in the clan's legacy and the effects of nearby Rio Tinto bauxite mine begin to take its toll, he and the clan elders must devise a strategy to preserve their cultural identity, while staying connected to the modern world.
