Description |
An outstanding Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cast tells the story of a group of homeless indigenous people 'living on country' who build a shantytown on Brisbane's outskirts. The discovery of oil under the site leads them to acknowledge ancestral spirits and the life-changing wealth of the land, but people with powerful interests soon start making other plans. |
