Airdate: Westwind: Djalu’s Legacy

NITV will feature a collection of music documentaries and movies throughout December and January – with many television firsts.

These will include showcase sounds and beats from around the world – traditional music, pop, rock, hip hop, soul, jazz, rap, Afrobeat, and more.

It begins with an NITV commission Westwind: Djalu’s Legacy.

Djalu Gurruwiwi is an aging elder in a line 60,000 years long. He is running out of time to pass on the Yidaki Songlines entrusted to him for the future of his people. His sons and community, struggling to come to terms with the consequences of colonisation, are in danger of being lost.

When Djalu breaks with tradition to try and save them, world famous musician Gotye becomes an unexpected family member, helping to heal Djalu’s sons and amplifying their songs to the world.

8:30pm Sunday on NITV.
