Njunjul verlässt das Happy Valley, um bei einem Onkel in der Grossstadt ein neues Leben anzufangen. Initiationsgeschichte vor dem Hintergrund der Geschichte über die indigene Bevölkerung Australiens. Ab 13.

The Hairyman is a bad spirit who makes it hard for a boy to sleep at night. But then a green tree frog, Girragundji, arrives and helps him face his fears.

The other day this little one asked me, "When did you start being an Aborigine, and how old were you when you started that?" Like it was a career path or something. I just cracked up laughing. Boori Pryor's career path has taken him from the Aboriginal fringe camps of his birth to the runway, the catwalk, the basketball court, the DJ console, and now to performance and storytelling and the country. "You've got to try and play the whiteman's game and stay black while you are doing it," his brother used to tell him. With writer and photographer Meme McDonald, Boori leads you along the paths he has travelled, pausing to meet his family and friends, while sharing the story of his life, his pain and his hopes, with humour and compassion. To feel happy about yourself, you must feel happy about the place you live in. To feel happy about the place you live in, you must get to know that place. To get to know that place, you must ask the people who have lived there the longest, the Aboriginal people. We have the key that can open the door to the treasures of this land.
