Synopsis

Central Australia's answer to the Buena Vista Social Club!

In the obscure churches of remote Central Australia an unknown 140-year musical legacy of ancient aboriginal languages, German sacred poetry and baroque music is being preserved by 4 generations of song women who make up the Central Australian Aboriginal Women’s Choir. 

As the women go on a historic journey to take back the songs that were given to their ancestors by the Germans, but in their own ancient Aboriginal languages and on their own terms, we explore this incredible musical legacy and the complex, unspoken duality of Central Desert identity that goes with it.

Come on an adventure as the unlikeliest band on earth goes on tour…to the other side of the world!
