Undermined: tales from the Kimberley (2018)
Undermined investigates the politics of an area now branded "the future economic powerhouse of Australia," and what this means for our First People and their unique cultural landscapes. As pressure from industry exposes the limits of Indigenous land rights, what will remain of over 200 remote Aboriginal communities? We follow young leader Albert Wiggan, veteran cattleman Kevin Oscar and Senior Elder June Davis through David-and Goliath battles to preserve their homelands, asking the question: for whose benefit is this development?
