The Screen Guide

Storykeepers is a celebration of the extraordinary Boori Pryor who throughout his life has risen against the odds to become a celebrated storyteller. Growing up as a barefoot Aboriginal kid in Townsville, Boori was asked by a teacher what he wanted to do when he grew up - ‘stay alive’ he responded. When his brother Paul took his own life, Boori cast aside his own anguish to take on the work his brother had started as a cultural performer and teacher.
