Gurrumul is an intimate portrait of Geoffrey Gurrumul Yunupingu, the blind Yolŋu musician whose voice and songs bridged Indigenous tradition and global audiences. Sung primarily in Yolŋu languages, Gurrumul’s music carried the stories, law, and spirit of his country while achieving international acclaim. Combining archival footage, performances, and insights from collaborators and family, the film explores his artistry, cultural responsibility, and the quiet strength behind his extraordinary presence.
