Yolngu Boy

Yolngu Boy Pty Ltd , 2001

Three boys, two laws, one country... Yolngu Boy tells the story of three teenage boys as they leave childhood behind and pursue their individual destinies. Once very close, their friendship is challenged by many things – loss of tribal and group identity, conflicts with both white and black law, the break up of families, a difficult trek through the Australian bush...

Destined to become a classic, this gound­breaking Australian film is a rich curriculum resource for teachers of students from Years 9 to 12.
