Through years and years of memories I have captured with my family, I bring to you BAMA, an indigenous film starring my little brother ELIJAH LOVEDAY.
After the first day of private school in the city, a young aboriginal boy reflects on his fear of losing the magic of family and community after being so far away from them.
I wanted to make a film about the magic of family and community, especially the indigenous communities we have here in Australia. I have such a strong connection to my family and my community because it is the building block of who I am today. When I moved away to Melbourne, I had carried a fear with me that I would lose the magic of family and community.
When you watch this film I want you to understand the importance of family and community. I want you to accept the fear that comes when you move away from your hometown and your family. Because if you feel you will love your family no matter what, then you can always count on that magic that holds you to them to never fade.
