Journey Home documents the extraordinary final journey of acclaimed Yolŋu actor and dancer David Dalaithngu Gulpilil AM, as his family work to fulfil his wish to return home to Country following his passing in 2021.
Known for his performances in films including Storm Boy, Rabbit-Proof Fence, Crocodile Dundee and Australia, David Gulpilil spent decades sharing culture and storytelling with audiences around the world while remaining deeply connected to his Yolŋu homeland in Arnhem Land.
Directed by Maggie Miles and created in collaboration with Yolŋu leaders and family, the documentary follows the logistical and cultural journey to bring Gulpilil home to Gupulul in north-east Arnhem Land for burial.
Offering a rare and intimate insight into Yolŋu ceremony and community, Journey Home is a powerful reflection on legacy, identity and the enduring strength of culture.
