Reconciliation Week - Movie Screening at St Albans Library

Celebrate Reconciliation Week with our Simultaneous Screening of Wash My Soul in the River’s Flow – A feature documentary about First Nations Elders and national icons Archie Roach and Ruby Hunter

The film is a love story told in song and spoken word, from the points of view of Archie Roach and Ruby Hunter — First Nation singer-songwriters and icons of Australian music.

Ruby and Archie have performed with the best – Bob Dylan, Patti Smith, Paul Simon, Sting and Joan Armatrading, among others. In 2021, Roach was on the cover of Rolling Stone as one of the 50 most influential Australian artists of all time with AC/DC, Nic Cave, Kylie Minogue, Michael Hutchence and Sia, among others.
