from ‘Bran Nue Dae’ (2009)
dir. Rachel Perkins
Australian musical comedy-drama feature film, adapted from the 1990 coming-of-age stage musical ‘#BranNueDae’ by Jimmy Chi.
It follows an Aboriginal Australian teenager on a road trip in the late 1960s.
‘I feel like going back home
Right now, while the mangoes are ripe
Frangipani's starting to bloom
And the blue bone are starting to bite…’
~ From the musical ‘Bran Nue Dae’ by Jimmy Chi and Kuckles
