Richard Trudgen developed the storyline behind this video in many face-to-face education sessions with Yolngu and their families over a forty-year period. It was produced with very limited dollars in Draft format, and our competent bilingual, bicultural production team has not had a chance to check and correct all the Yolngu Matha because we have not been able to get support dollars to produce it properly.

However, more Yolngu are dying of heart attack than any other condition. Our Yolngu Hope For Health board has pleaded for access to this video to get the information out to their families before it’s too late.

The Yolngu we have tested with have said, “If our people had this video before, many of our relatives would still be alive today. Please get it out to everyone”.

The video works through all the knowledge gaps in relation to the heart and its function in the body. The things that cause heart disease. What is heart failure, and how to respond if a heart attack occurs?

Medical people showing this video to Yolngu should contact us, and we can give you licence access to the same video plus many other video and audio resources with extra cross-cultural information on how to use it with Yolngu in a culturally safe way.
