Clip description

Aaron Pederson and his family come together to place a cross on their grandmother’s grave. They remove the existing plaque which said nothing of who she was, and replace it with a cross with her full details and a photo. Vinnie shovels the dirt to establish the new cross. Aaron and Vinnie embrace their grandfather. Aaron tells of his grandmother’s final concerns about Vinnie, and wish for Aaron to look after him.

Curator’s notes

An emotional recapitulation that bring the Pedersen brother’s back to Alice Springs together.
