Walkabout to Hollywood

Directed by Peter Weir, Walkabout to Hollywood showcases David Gulpilil's journey as he navigates both traditional Aboriginal life and his artistic pursuits in film and dance. The documentary highlights his significant contributions to cinema, particularly during a time when he was featured in four major films in America, including Walkabout and Storm Boy.

The film not only documents Gulpilil's achievements but also emphasizes his connection to both Aboriginal and Native American cultures. As he travels to Hollywood, viewers get an insight into his experiences in the film industry and his longing for the landscapes of Arnhem Land. Gulpilil's story is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the Aboriginal people and their representation in the arts.

Collectors can find Walkabout to Hollywood available on DVD, making it a suitable addition for those interested in historical documentaries and biographies that highlight Indigenous voices in cinema.
