Five years after the feature documentary film The Song Keepers, which told the remarkable story of the Central Australian Aboriginal Women’s Choir, the talented group has been back in the national spotlight this year.
The choir was among performers in a TV and online rendition of the song ‘I Am Australian’, recorded for the 90th anniversary of the Australian Broadcasting Corporation.
Made up of mostly Lutheran Indigenous women and men, the choir is a great witness for their church and their culture.
