KANYINI - 31st August, 2006

A film by Melanie Hogan and distributed by Hopscotch Films.

KANYINI is a story told by an Aboriginal man, Bob Randall, who lives beside the greatest monolith in the world, Uluru in Central Australia. Based on Bob's own personal journey and the wisdom he learnt from the old people living in the bush, Bob tells the tale of why Indigenous people are now struggling in a modern world and what needs to be done for them to move forward. A tale of Indigenous wisdom clashing against materialist notions of progress, this is not only a story of one man and his people but the story of the human race.

FAMOUS AUSTRALIANS SUPPORT KANYINI

George Negus... "Anyone coming cold to the story of Australia's Indigenous disgrace will no longer be ignorant after seeing this beautifully shot film and hearing Uncle Bob tell it the way it is, with such personal passion, political insight, incredible lucidity, dignity and somehow even humour."

Deborah Mailman... "My wish...that everyone go see this film. Uncle Bob just tells it like it is. Simply, beautifully and with a light heart. A special film that tells an "open truth" that should have been told a very long time ago.

Justice Marcus Einfeld..."Bob's and Melanie's extraordinary sensitivity and talent have joined forces to create a groundbreaking and beautiful film that has the unique potential to bring non-Indigenous Australians closer to their Indigenous brothers and sisters and to help all of us to understand 'who we are' and 'where we belong'. If a film were ever made to reshape or underwrite the national identity of Australians, KANYINI would be it."

Toni Collette…”I urge everyone to watch Kanyini. It is entirely compelling and incredibly important. “
