Go behind the scenes and onto the stage, of a legendary concert to discover the story of Archie Roach and Ruby Hunter, told in song. 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 breath-taking 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'.
