21.01.2022 For more than 20 years, Dr Carmel O'Shannessy has been working in and researching within, remote Indigenous communities in the Northern Territory. In one of these, Lajamanu, Dr O'Shannessy wound up collaborating with a person she had taught in the 1990s, to make a unique biographical film about the lives of two senior Warlpiri men and the contributions they have made to their community. The men, Jerry Patrick Jangala OAM and Henry Cook Jakamarra tell the story of their remark...able lives in their own words. In the article below, Dr O'Shannessy writes about how the film Kaja-warnu-jangka (From the bush) came about and her experiences making it with her former student, Warlpiri filmmaker Maxwell Walma Japanangka. https://cass.anu.edu.au/news/bush Watch Kaja-warnu-jangka (From the bush) online here: https://vimeo.com/417511570/05ceaa0fab
