| Summary |
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... Winner of the Young Actor's Award (John Sebastian Pilakui) at the **Australian Film Institute Awards**. "*YOLNGU BOY is an enjoyable film and easily one of the most significant engagements with Aboriginal cinema since Nicolas Roeg's renowned Walkabout (1971).*" - Michael Shane, **Urban Cinefile** |
