UNDERMINED: TALES FROM THE KIMBERLEY (2019)
Starring Kevin Oscar, Richard Patterson, Albert Wiggan, June Davis, Anne Poelina and Merle Carter. Directed by Nicholas Wrathall and Nicholas D. Wrathall.

The world-famous Kimberley region is under threat, with mining and big agriculture driving an unprecedented land grab. What will be left of over 200 remote Aboriginal communities?

'Undermined: Tales from the Kimberley' investigates what is happening in an area now branded “the future economic powerhouse of Australia,” and what this means for traditional owners, traditional lands and unique Indigenous cultures.

This is a distinctly Australian story, but international in scope. In 2015 the Kimberley Land Council’s trip to the UN went viral and protestors took to the streets and social media around the world. As the fight against the Dakota Pipeline becomes an international campaign, questions of Indigenous rights in the contemporary moment demand answers.
