What happens

Marungka tjalatjunu (Dipped in black) is a 2022 Australian hybrid docufiction film, created by Matthew Thorne and Derik Lynch. Through memory, re-creation, and documentary, the film tells the story of Derik's life navigating the whitefella and blackfella worlds. The film is voiced almost entirely in Yankunytjatjara, an Aboriginal Australian language that is the first language of South Australian artist and performer Derik Lynch. It is the first Australian film to do so. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
