Buried Country is a documentary about the unique cultural phenomenon of Australian Aboriginal country music. Based on the book by Clinton Walker - who co-wrote the film with director Andy Nehl, conducted its interviews and produced its soundtrack album - narrated by singer/songwriter Kev Carmody and shot by Warwick Thornton, it told the story of the genre through the eyes and voices of a dozen of its artists, replete with rare archive footage and contemporary performances. Hailed all round the world, it grew in 2016 into a touring live stageshow.
