The Story

In this documentary I follow the Indigenous Australian Bininj Munnguy people, the keepers of fire, traditional custodians of country. A clan of people who can feel the rhythms of the land and it’s inhabitants. For over 65,000 years this oldest continuous culture on the planet have managed the land. Living in harmony with the environment. They are such a part of the land that where they have left the land is dying. The plants and animals need them to thrive.

In a time when our planet is suffering from over farming, unsustainable land management and we as people live stressful unhealthy lifestyles, the indigenous people of Australia can show us the way to help heal our fragile world.
