Midnight Oil - ‘Backburning’

The film is written and directed by Paul Clarke from Bombora Film & Music.  It captures the calm before the storm, as Midnight Oil reunite in the red centre of Australia to make plans. Their conviction and drive made them a singular force in music until their singer chose to become a Member of Parliament: a decision that ultimately caused the band to fall silent for 15 years.  ‘Backburning’ recaps Midnight Oil’s history, through archive footage, band interviews and Aaron Pedersen’s narration.
