Reviews

The cinematography is incredible, boasting beautiful moments from Brewarrina country. What’s more wonderful about this film is the community forged within it. Imogen Thomas worked hard to collaborate with the Brewarrina community to create authenticity - and it shows. This film supports the creation and telling of Indigenous stories, by Indigenous people, with Indigenous actors. It’s so important
