Review by Jaelyn Lyas, Lilithia Reviews 08 June 2025
“In the warm glow of Sydney Town Hall, lit by the rainbow hues of Vivid, I found myself seated among a diverse crowd, each of us waiting to witness something deeply personal. Yurlu | Country is more than a documentary; it’s a sacred act of storytelling. It shares the journey of Banjima Elder Maitland Parker, a proud man whose fight to protect his Country and culture runs parallel to his personal battle with mesothelioma, a cancer caused by asbestos exposure. Despite never working in a mine, he paid the ultimate price for decisions made far from home.”
