Where the Green Ants Dream
Drama
The Australian Aborigines (in this film anyway) believe that this is the place where the green ants go to dream, and that if their dreams are disturbed, it will bring down disaster on us all. The Aborigines' belief is not shared by a giant mining company, which wants to tear open the soil and search for uranium.
VIBE
A profound, almost spiritual clash of worlds unfolds. It's a quiet yet urgent plea for respect, where ancient beliefs meet the relentless march of industry. The film feels like a dream itself, tinged with melancholy for what is lost.
