Where black Americans turned to
the blues, Aboriginal Australians found inspiration in country and western
music and created a style of their own. From the bush to the city, Aboriginal
people have used country music to tell their stories of life and the struggle
for justice. Featuring rare recordings, archival images and first-hand
interviews with the singers and songwriters, Buried Country traces six decades
of this rich tradition. What emerges is not only a poignant record of
Indigenous Australia, but also a celebration of how music can lift the human
spirit. Buried Country explores the largely untold story
of Aboriginal country music. It is 'a story about storytelling'. Aboriginal
people adopted country music to tell their stories in a way that could be
understood by non-Aboriginal Australians. Although the subject of the film is
country music, the stories told are about the life experiences of Aboriginal
people.
