Australian Philanthropy Movie Making Donation Drive - EratiK - 2011-05-06
Hello everyone.
Koohii might be a weird place to start this sort of appeal, but let me explain.
You all know of didgeridoo (that tube that makes strange noises, that's right, like the band Jamiroquai used). Well, one of its traditional names is yidaki, and the best non Aboriginal players of traditional style in the world are actually Japanese people (because they have the dedication I think). The most famous one being Shozo Kimlee.
One of the main problems Aboriginal people face is the lack of awareness towards their situation, and also the lack of self-awareness that hinders the initiatives taken by a few in the communities.
Hopefully, this movie, a project in which I believe (I'm a donator), will do both.
Thank you for checking out the following link if you're interested, and if not, thank you for transmitting this link to any person you think might be interested in contributing (musicians, Australian friends, cinephiles...).

There are only 8 days left before the donation deadline, so thank you in advance for any support.
Cheers,
EK
