Wash My Soul in The River’s Flow

A women, a man and a river.

That is that premise of a new cinematic reinterpretation of the 2004 collaborative concert by Archie Roach and Ruby Hunter as they prepare and perform at the premiere of Kura Tungar—Songs from the River.

It’s the result of a two-year collaboration with Paul Grabowsky and the Australian Art Orchestra, using archival footage from rehearsals and the opening night and touching on the tender relationship between two of Australia’s most significant First Nation musicians.

Taylah Strano dives into the documentary with writer, producer and director Philippa Bateman on Breakfast.
