Synopsis

In 1978, Tom Lewis appeared in the Australian feature, 'The Chant of Jimmie Blacksmith'. Jimmie Blacksmith’s life was hauntingly close to his own: a young man struggling for a foothold on the edge of two cultures. Tom's mother is a traditional Indigenous woman of southern Arnhem Land, his father a Welsh stockman who he never really knew. YELLOW FELLA is a journey across the land and into Tom's past as he attempts to find the resting place of his father.
