Bob Randall

A necessary and beautiful documentary, Kanyini looks at the world’s oldest living culture. Bob Randall acts as our guide to ‘Kanyini’, which he describes as the principle of connectedness – through caring and responsibility – which informs all aspects of Aboriginal life.

As a tale of indigenous wisdom at odds with materialism and progress, Kanyini is representative of more than just one man and his people. Bob articulates the sadness he feels for his people and their struggle, but remains committed to teaching their history, using fascinating archive footage and sublime contemporary material.
