About

Proceeds go towards the launch of Hunter Roach Monument, situated on the Barmera Lakefront for screenings on Thursday March 10.

Wash My Soul in the River’s Flow is a cinematic reinvention of a legendary concert that premiered in 2004.

Kura Tungar-Songs from the River was a collaboration between two of Australia’s greatest artists—singer-songwriters Archie Roach and Ruby Hunter—working with Paul Grabowsky and the 22-piece Australian Art Orchestra.

Using footage combining conversations, rehearsals, and the opening night, with breathtaking images of Hunter’s Ngarrindjeri country in South Australia, the film is a portrait of artists at the peak of their powers and a profoundly moving story of loss, love and what it means to truly come ‘home’.

Ruby and Archie were both First Nations members of the Stolen Generation. The monument has been dedicated to commemorate the life of the late Ruby Hunter, who was born in the Riverland, and her partner Archie Roach. They were famed international singer songwriters who took their culture to the rest of the world.
