Onemda: Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health and Wellbeing Group Monthly Yarning

DJÄKAMIRR

This months Yarning will be a screening of DJÄKAMIRR. Filmed in remote Arnhem Land, this documentary follows Ḻäwurrpa and Sarah on a unique journey through ancestral time, country and culture. As mutual trust develops between the two women, they hope to empower Yolŋu and reclaim 60,000 years of birthing culture from the stronghold of Western medicine. This is their story of working with community to pilot the training of djäkamirr- the caretakers of pregnancy and birth.
