"Old Country New Country - The Journey of a Raft" - June 03, 2009

Old Country New Country -- The Journey of a Raft is the poignant and politically powerful story of Bardi Elder Roy Wiggan passing on to his nephew Albert the traditional aboriginal craft of raft-making. In the process, they travel from their country – the Kimberley region, one of the few remaining wildernesses on the planet -- to the once pristine, now industrialised Pilbara to the south. Screens on SBS at 6pm, Monday 8 June 2009.
