Kate is an outsider and way out of her depth in the desert community, searching
for the Aboriginal woman who can reveal to her the oldest song in the world.
Kate, a lonely city woman and reluctant student, is asked by her teachers to
travel to the middle of the Australian desert to record a dying Aboriginal woman
singing an ancient song. She accepts because she believes that she might be able
to reunite with a childhood love and solve the mystery of her past. But once
there, she's confronted by an Aboriginal culture vastly different to her own,
and also by the forceful personality of the man who is supposed to help her find
the singer. Very soon she is questioning everything she has ever felt about her
own country and about her childhood. Sensitively portrayed, lyrical, and full of
insights about people's diverse sense of home, belonging and family, the Oldest
Song in the World is a brave and controversial story about discovering the power
of one's own voice and taking heed...
