Description:
The film examines the clash between traditional Aboriginal culture and modern industry. It focuses on a sacred Aboriginal land, believed to be a dreaming place for green ants, that a mining company sees as a valuable resource. The Aboriginal people believe disturbing this dreaming will cause disaster. As conflict escalates, the film explores the importance of protecting cultural beliefs against relentless modern exploitation, all within a detailed Australian setting.
