Synopsis
"Follow Me Home" is an emotive and modern fairy tale of an Aboriginal girl on a journey to reconnect with her roots and the rugged beauty of the Australian Outback. Overcoming homesickness at school, she longs for the Kimberley's majestic landscapes, her family's warmth, and the comfort of home. Her desire to return is sparked by vivid memories and her dances with Lanky, the brolga bird, symbolizing the deep bond they share through their spectacular performances. This longing culminates in an emotional journey and reunion with her family, as they overcome the challenge of distance, rising floodwaters, and a lone journey across harsh landscapes, reinforcing their strong connections. The pinnacle of her return is a breathtaking dance with Lanky, an enthralling ode to her identity and the magical charm of the Outback. The story gracefully intertwines themes of kinship, belonging, and dance as a powerful medium of expression and unity. Endorsed by influential Aboriginal women, "Follow Me Home" seamlessly blends an exquisite narrative with striking imagery, drawing readers into the heart of the Australian Outback for a poignant journey of self-discovery and affirmation.
