For fifty years, David Gulpilil has been an iconic figure of Australian cinema. He is the only actor to appear in both of the two highest grossing Australian films of all time – Crocodile Dundee (1986) and Australia (2008). Gulpilil is known throughout the world for his unforgettable performances. His mesmerising, electrifying presence has leapt off the big screen and changed Australian screen representation in the process. 

Integral to the telling of so many legendary screen stories, Gulpilil, now nearing the end of his life, generously shares his own story with us. The actor, dancer, singer and painter takes us boldly on the journey that is his most extraordinary, culture-clashing life.

An intimate journey through his career and his personal life, into his dreams and fears, its astoundingly generous. –   Stephen A Russell,  Time Out

Pensive and piercingly emotional, this is an unforgettable film. –  Luke Buckmaster, The Guardian
