Notes

  • As detailed in an NITV article, the film draws on the Brolga Dreaming of the Muruwari people, who granted permission for the story to be used in the film. The protagonist, 'an Indigenous man who believes he is the last person on earth to protect his trove of Indigenous art and ancient knowledge', is played by Gunditjmara and Wiradjuri man James Saunders.
