With parallels to Cuba's Buena Vista Social Club comes the inspirational music from Australia's black protest movement performed by contemporary Aboriginal musicians and their collaborators, and introduced by Pete Postlethwaite (In the Name of the Father, Brassed Off). For the first time outside Australia, this 28 piece ensemble, accompanied by a backdrop of film images, reveals a largely hidden, sometimes confronting and ultimately uplifting portrait of contemporary Aboriginal life and the heartfelt music that accompanies it.
