Minymaku Way is a rare opportunity to witness the inspiring and enduringly unique work of the Ngannyatjarra, Yankuntjatjara Women’s Council in the remote desert communities of Central Australia. The film illuminates the special Malpa (working relationship in Pitjantjajara) between Indigenous and non Indigenous women as they go about dealing with complex social problems in a time of immense cultural change for Anangu (Indigenous) people.
