WASH MY SOUL IN THE RIVER’S FLOW
Archie Roach and Ruby Hunter – a love story in song.
Dir. Philippa Bateman | 90 mins | Documentary, Biography, Concert | Australia 2021 | Rated PGR
With a special introduction by composer, writer and broadcaster Andrew Ford before the screening

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 First Nations 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’.
