Japarta - A Journey to the Gurindji Way

A biographical documentary on the late historian/anthropologist Minoru Hokari, who first wrote an economic history of Australian Aboriginals in his native Japan, then came to Australia to live with and study the Gurindji people in the Northern Territory who had been central to the great "walk-off" of indigenous stockmen and their families to return to and reconstruct their relationship with their country - free from settlers. The film contains footage shot by Minoru himself and interviews with his many academic colleagues, family members and Gurindji people he lived with.
