Corrugation Road

Synopsis:
Jimmy Chi's own story - In Corrugation Road questions are posed about madness and sanity, child abuse, parenthood, sexuality and religion. But as with Bran Nue Dae, the issues are presented with wild and wicked humour, a sense of the bizzare, an overriding optimism and a brilliant score that ranges from hot gospel to reggae and blues
