Summary
Warning: Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander viewers should be aware that this content may contain images or names of people who have since passed away. In one of the most remote corners of indigenous Australia a boy will soon become a man. His father has told him that his initiation will be soon. This film documents a rare and intimate moment in the life of a family living in a remote indigenous community in Northern Australia's Arnhem Land region. Set against the political backdrop of Government pressure to close 'un-economic outstations' this small community is doing its best to integrate the understandings of its ancestors with the demands of life in the globalised 21st Century.
