The wailing Bones of Kuku Island - Provisional Trailer

The untold story of a Perth mother who must honour the dead by helping the living even if it means going to hell and back. In 1975, the fall of Saigon triggered an unprecedented Exodus of more than 2 million. Carina fled with her siblings in a wooden boat with 373 people. Storms, pirates and deprivation was the order of their days at sea. Their fate awaited them in an island jungle where wild dogs howled like wolves at night. Thirty years later, Carina is helping families back there as "a way of finding closureto fully get on with life".

I was on Kuku island from 6/1979 to 3/1980 with my brother and my sister's family. Then we was relocated to Kalang Camp and then shipped to Singapo. From there we flied to USA and arrived on 6/16/1980. It was an unforgetable experience.

Hi, these videos of the island are amazing. Can I ask where you got them? I'd like to use it for my family documentary. My uncle passed through here on this way to Palau Galang.

@@alanbee5427 So the sequence 00:55 to 00:59 was not historical footage?
