Djakamirr - Caretaker of pregnancy and birth - Documentary screening

DJÄKAMIRR is a privileged insight into the aspirations of remote First Nations communities to reclaim their birthing
culture from the stronghold of Western medicine; and be part of the solutions to improve health. Filmed over a two year period on-country in Arnhem Land, the documentary is a rare invitation to experience Yolŋu women’s culture and hear their aspirations for maternity services. This is a journey of hope, demonstrating that when Yolŋu and Balanda (non-Yolŋu) Australians work together, positive change and community empowerment is possible
