"David Gulpilil lives a spartan and demanding life in tribal Arnhem land. The film shows David at home in Ramingining in Australia's Northern Territory and in his other life as a respected film actor. GULPILIL - ONE RED BLOOD takes us from the world of cinema to Gulpilil's homeland and back again. It charts his career from his origins as a strictly tribal man who spoke no English, through his transformation to a jet-setting movie star. The film traces how Gulpilil's acting work declined during the 80s and how he was overlooked for over a decade. With his latest roles in Rabbit Proof Fence and The Tracker, Gulpilil is once again back in the spotlight. We hear from acclaimed directors, Phillip Noyce and Rolf De Heer, Aboriginal activists, Marcia Langton and Gary Foley, and industry peers Justine Saunders and Jack Thompson, as well as the women in his life. Interspersed with these interviews are generous clips from just some of the many feature films that defined his career: Walkabout (1969); Mad Dog Morgan (1976); Storm Boy (1976); Crocodile Dundee (1986); Rabbit Proof Fence (2001) and The Tracker (2002). David Gulpilil approached Darlene Johnson to document his life, stressing that there be "no bullshit, and to show people my life and how I really live it"."

"David Gulpilil is one of the most respected Australian actors of his generation. Born in 1953 he grew up on an Aboriginal reserve and worked as a stockman. Possessing exceptional talents as a dancer, at age 14 he was chosen to play the lead in Nicholas Roeg's film Walkabout (1970). He went on to act in a number of Australian feature films including 'Mad Dog Morgan' (1976), 'Storm Boy' (1977), 'The Last Wave' (1977), 'Crocodile Dundee' (1986) and 'Rabbit-Proof Fence' (2002). Most recently he won the AFI award for best actor for his performance in 'The Tracker' (2002). When he is not acting, Gulpilil lives a demanding traditional tribal life with his family in Arnhem Land, Northern Australia where he is an elder of the Yolgnu clan. Following Gulpilil from the set of 'The Tracker' back to his community the film reveals how the actor negotiates the two very different worlds he move between. Interviews with Phillip Noyce, Rolf De Heer, Marcia Langton, Gary Foley Jack Thompson, Gulpilil and others are interspersed with clips from films in which the actor has appeared."
