Nyima Tucker

Growing Up Nyima is a documentary film that follows Nyima Tucker, a young woman of Ngarluma, Banjima, and Yamatji heritage, as she moves between the worlds of city and country. Born in the Pilbara and raised in Karratha before relocating to Perth at sixteen, Nyima’s journey captures the tension between modern life and ancestral connection. Across the 1,500 km that separate these landscapes, she grapples with questions of identity, belonging, and the meaning of home.
