Here's one of my favourite films of the year, which I first posted on my blog of 1st May. I still love it!
"In the Kimberley between the Karlijirta Hills and the Great Sandy Desert lies the small community of Kadjina. It's one of up to 150 remote Aboriginal communities in WA threatened with forced closure. This short doco shows what life is like on these homelands and what special places they are."
Created by Robbie McEwen and Kelly West in collaboration with community Elders and local children from Wulungurra Community School, WA.
Please Share this wonderful video and make these children famous. And help save their community.
