Uluru & the Magician
synopsis
Dave Welzman's life is defined by non-existent romance, recurring health problems and a plateauing career as a professional magician catering to suburban kids and corporate types. Deciding to chart a new path, he hatches a plan to top a 1983 world-record-holding magic trick by David Copperfield: he will make Uluru disappear. While turning this idea into a reality, however, Welzman learns some sobering truths about Indigenous Australians and the Anangu people for whom the monolith is sacred - as well as about himself.
