Written and directed by Jacob Boehme, as told by Michelle Tobin and composed and sung by Ursula Yovich, with Adam Ventoura, Imigo reveals the stark truth behind living as an HIV+ Aboriginal woman in Australia.

 

Aboriginal women in Australia are still the demographic at highest risk of being diagnosed HIV+.

As Michelle faces multiple health struggles, she embarks on a quest of forgiveness and understanding to heal the relationships and scars left from a life of fighting against all odds; to be a bride, a mother, a grandmother and to stay alive.

 

A life that Michelle has always lived, even with all its disappointments and complications, with imigo (hope; Yorta Yorta).

Coming in 2017!
