Where Are You *Really* From?
Boori Monty Pryor is a descendant of the Kungganji and Birri-Gubba people of North Queensland. Through masterful storytelling, Boori gets us to look for the whole person inside the stories we tell. Boori weaves Dreamtime stories, with basketball legend, DJ life in 70s Sydney and a sharp humour to ask ‘where you really from?’ and heal through love, laughter and connection.
