ABOUT THE FILM
RATED: PG
DURATION: 82 minutes
Audrey is a Warlpiri woman living in Alice Springs (Mparntwe) in Central Australia. As an Indigenous woman she and her family are facing the loss of their homeland and with it, their deep connectedness to nature and their traditional ways of living, Law and community. They are confronted with the very real social and institutional racism endemic to white Australian Society.
You will not forget Audrey Napanangka, after seeing her and listening to her. You will not forget Audrey’s face, her strength, her warmth – as you will not forget her Sicilian partner Santo and at least two of the more than thirty children that Audrey Napanangka raised.
Audrey and Santo look after a lot of children. As Australia considers truth telling, this is a story of love and survival that gives voice to an extraordinary intergenerational family.
As Australia considers truth telling, this is a story of love and survival that gives voice to an extraordinary intergenerational family.
Audrey embeds her cultural knowledge, language, and Law into the lives of those she cares for, while ensuring they have the education for the complex world of today. The intimate footage of this steadfast couple and their multigenerational family, filmed over ten years in Mparntwe (Alice Springs) and Audrey’s Warlpiri homelands, provides unique insights into a family in Australia today.
