Our Team
Zacariah or (mäḻirri) Gurruwiwi — also known by his Yolŋu name mäḻirri and skin name Bulung — is the founder and driving force behind One Blood Organisation. A filmmaker, storyteller, and cultural bridge-builder, malirri’s life purpose is to be in service to mob and help keep Indigenous Australian culture strong, seen, and respected. His passion & purpose also extends out of the borders of Australia & to all indigenous cultures of the earth.
After being welcomed into the Gurruwiwi family and adopted into Yolŋu kinship, Zac was gifted the name mäḻirri— a name that speaks to identity, responsibility, and connection to Yolŋu law and culture. With this came a message: to walk in deep service to indigenous people and to be in deep connection & service to Country.
Through his work behind the camera and in community, mäḻirri creates space for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people to tell their stories in their own voice. His filmmaking is grounded in listening, truth-telling, and honouring culture. Every project, every conversation, and every step forward with One Blood Organisation is led by that same purpose — to celebrate culture, share knowledge, and build real, respectful relationships between all peoples.
mäḻirri believes that story has the power to heal, connect, and transform.
