## Resource

In a hauntingly beautiful documentary, Yurlu | Country follows Maitland Parker, an elder from the Banjima people, as he battles mesothelioma linked to decades of asbestos mining while fighting to reclaim his poisoned homeland. Once thriving, the town of Wittenoom was erased from maps after leaving behind three million tonnes of toxic waste — now a silent killer across thousands of hectares of ancestral land. With stunning aerial visuals contrasting nature’s beauty against environmental devastation, this powerful film captures the collective grief and resilience of a community whose culture and heritage are under siege. A must-watch for anyone who cares about justice, land, and legacy. Available now on Apple TV. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
