About

Buried Country is an impressively researched documentary honouring the enormous legacy of country musicians from black Australia who identified with the country genre for its reflections on loss and endurance. Directed by Andy Nehl and written by Nehl and Clinton Walker, with cinematography by Warwick Thornton, Buried Country asks why these masters of the craft have been hidden from view for so long?
