Dhakiyarr vs The King
Graeme Isaac , 2004
The family of the great Yolngu leader Dhakiyarr Wirrpanda is searching for answers. Seventy years after his controversial murder trial and subsequent disappearance, Dhakiyarr's body has still not been found. His descendants know that justice was not served. They want to restore what was denied to him: his honour. This is their story, told in their own words - of two laws, two cultures and two families coming to terms with the past.
Contains yirdaki playing and ceremonial scenes.

Wow, that's some powerful footage you put together there. What eventually became of the truth? Anyone?

As ridiculous as this may sound (i am being serious not joking around) we will know the answer to all these disappearances at the end of this year (2008). Some thing very profound is about to happen to humanity.
