Synopsis

Continuing the work of the award-winning Sand Talk, Tyson Yunkaporta casts an Indigenous lens on contemporary society, using powerful Indigenous thinking to challenge us to face conflict and embrace conversation to find our way onto the right track.

With Right Story, Wrong Story, Apalech Clan member Tyson Yunkaporta, from far north Queensland, tackles the divisions that prevent us from talking to one another. Drawing on deep Aboriginal knowledge, Yunkaporta invites us to confront life’s biggest questions and arms us with the tools we need to really listen, and to open our minds to change based upon our connections with others. He makes this point through discussions with a diverse range of people across social and political divides including:

• liberal economists
• memorization experts
• Frisian ecologists
• and Elders who are wood carvers, mathematicians, and storytellers.

Building upon the Indigenous tradition of "yarning" to weave our individual narratives into the great narrative that includes us all across any and all differences, Yunkaporta argues that story is at the heart of everything. But what is right or wrong story?
