Putuparri and the Rainmakers

Putuparri and the Rainmakers

Tom “Putuparri” Lawford finds himself torn between two contrasting worlds: his current life in modern society, where he struggles with issues like alcoholism and domestic violence, and his future role as a leader of his community, which involves reconnecting with his ancestral lands, immersing himself in traditional culture, and taking on the responsibility of passing this heritage to the next generation. Director Nicole Ma dedicated over ten years to capturing Putuparri’s journey, accompanying him and his family on multiple trips to Kurtal in the Kimberley’s Great Sandy Desert—a site of immense cultural importance known for its rainmaking rituals—as they pursue their native title claim for the land. Against the backdrop of this prolonged struggle for traditional land rights, the MIFF Premiere Fund-supported film “Putuparri and the Rainmakers” unfolds as a poignant and visually stunning narrative of love, hope, and the resilience of Aboriginal law and culture in the face of adversity.
