Helicopter Tjungurrayi

In 1957, chopper pilot Jim Ferguson landed in the isolated area of Natawalu. An indigenous family approached him with their desperately ill 10-year-old son Tjungurrayi. Ferguson took Tjungurrayi to receive urgent medical care, and the boy grew up to become an acclaimed artist. This documentary tells his wonderful story and chronicles his reunion with the pilot's daughter.
