The Screen Guide

The Yeundumu Magpies are a dominant force in Central Australian Football and ABORIGINAL RULES is a documentary that follows the mighty Magpies across the course of a year as they play their exciting brand of grassroots footy Warlpiri Style. With insights into Warlpiri culture and great archival vision from early Yuendumu sports weekends, we are offered a compelling portrait of a remote community through its champion football team. This is a new version of an age old ceremony, it's football dreaming.
