This 2008 story from SBS TV's Living Black program is about the Chooky Dancers (now Djuki Mala) from Elcho Island, Arnhem Land.
When Frank Djirrimbilpilwuy uploaded a video of the group dancing to 'Zorba the Greek' in 2007, the YouTube clip went viral and led to them appearing at the Sydney Opera House and being invited to perform around the world.
This story featured in series 9, episode 12 of Living Black, broadcast on 12 November 2008.
The National Film and Sound Archive of Australia acknowledges Australia’s Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we work and live and gives respect to their Elders both past and present.
