Kanyini screening
An Aboriginal Australian Shares His Story and Wisdom

Come and see the documentary on Wed, 22 May 2019 at Graduate School of Health
“Kanyini” is a Pitjantjatjara word meaning interconnectedness; caring, support, nurturing, and responsibility. Kanyini is a 50-minute documentary which explores the philosophy and the life of an Uncle, a 'Tjilpi' (old fella) of the Yankunytjatjara people who lived in Mutitjulu, a town beside, Uluru, in Central Australia. In this well-known and much-loved film, Uncle describes his culture, and the impacts of being removed as a child and one of the Stolen Generations.
Girra Maa Indigenous Health Discipline of GSH respectfully invite you to join us in watching this important and beautiful documentary film, Kanyini, by ‘white fella’ Melanie Hogan, made with Uncle, who offers much to understanding ourselves and society. We will view through UTS’s ‘Kanopy’ live streaming service.
This is GSH’s marking of National Sorry Day (26 May), an annual day of commemoration and remembrance of all those who have been impacted by the government policies of child removal that resulted in Stolen Generations.
