- An Aboriginal Australian and Native American documentary narrated by award-winning actor Jack Thompson, One Heart-One Spirit tells the story of Kenneth Little Hawk, an elder Micmac/Mohawk performing artist, meeting the oldest surviving culture on the planet: the 40,000 year old Yolngu nation located in northern Australia. At the three day, annual Garma Festival, Little Hawk learns that he has much in common with the Yolngu who believe that the Earth is our mother and we are all connected as one human family. "Many of us have forgotten about being humane, and that's what ONE HEART - ONE SPIRIT is working at to bring the humanity back to each and every one of our behaviors, here and all around the world." - Kenneth Little Hawk
- ONE HEART - ONE SPIRIT celebrates indigenous wisdom and promotes respect and equality for all human beings. The movie takes place at the 3 day Garma Festival in North East Arnhem Land in the Northern Territory of Australia. Native American elder Kenneth Little Hawk has travelled half way around the world to meet the oldest surviving culture on the planet, the Aboriginal people of the Yolngu nation. Little Hawk was invited to the Festival by Australian acting legend Jack Thompson who is the official ambassador of Garma and introduces Little Hawk to Dr. Yunupingu of the international hit band Yothu Yindi and many great leaders of the Yolngu people: Djalu the didgeridoo master, Djiniyini the spiritual elder, Ms. Yunupingu the artist and healer, Timmy the tour guide, and the honorable Yolgnu leader, Gallarwuy Yunupingu. ONE HEART - ONE SPIRIT not only shows how we are all connected but that we truly are one human family. The movie was made possible by the vision of Executive Producer and Australian native, Greg Reeves, who hired award-winning cinematographer Paul Tait to film Little Hawk during his visit to Garma. One Heart director, John Pritchard, sums up the purpose of the movie in the opening credits with narration from Little Hawk himself: "Many of us have forgotten about being humane, and that's what ONE HEART - ONE SPIRIT is working at to bring the humanity back to each and every one of our behaviors, here and all around the world."
