Aboriginal director Wayne Barker takes the viewer on a cultural exploration through three regions of the Kimberley, the coast, the rivers and tablelands, and the desert. Key storytellers share histories and messages of identity. Against a majestic rock gallery of Wandjina images, David Mowaljarlai tells the Dreaming story of one Wandjina ancestor. His passionate work in maintaining the Law and commitment to today’s youth is revealed through story and song.
