Wash My Soul in the River's Flow is a cinematic reinvention of a legendary concert that premiered in 2004. Kura Tungar-Songs from the River was a collaboration between First Nations singer-songwriters Archie Roach and Ruby Hunter working with Paul Grabowsky and the 22-piece Australian Art Orchestra. Using footage combining conversations, rehearsals, and the opening night, with breathtaking images of Hunter's Ngarrindjeri country in South Australia, the film is a portrait of artists at the peak of their powers and a profoundly moving story of loss, love, and what it means to truly come home.
Uncle Archie and Aunty Ruby were Reservoir locals and lived in the area for many years. We are thrilled to be screening this cinematic tribute at Reservoir library. Join us as we come together to honour their enduring legacy within the arts and wider community.
WARNING: Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander viewers are advised that this screening contains images and voices of deceased persons.
Rated PG.
