This beautiful documentary uses the art of video to examine the working lives of some Western Australian indigenous women. Direct interviews are innovatively cut with music, dance, still photography and symbolic imagery to create a sense of history juxtaposed with contemporary experience.
While never losing sight of the ongoing struggle of indigenous women in Western Australia, the stories, struggles and successes expressed by the women interviewed celebrates their achievements along with the achievements of their ancestors.
