Putuparri And The Rainmakers

Putuparri and the Rainmakers is a universal story about the sacred relationship between people and place. It takes audiences on a rare and emotional journey to meet the traditional rainmakers of Australia's Great Sandy Desert who have fought a twenty-year battle to win back their traditional homeland.

The film spans ten transformative years in the life of Tom 'Putuparri' Lawford when he reconnects with his ancestral lands and begins to accept his future as a leader of his people. Set against the backdrop of their long fight to reclaim their traditional lands, PUTUPARRI AND THE RAINMAKERS is an emotional, visually breathtaking story of love, hope and the survival of Aboriginal law and culture against all odds.
