'Kiko and Rosa are ‘blackbirds’. Having been forcefully displaced from their homelands, these Pacific Islander siblings struggle to survive whilst working on an Australian sugar plantation in the late 1800s. As they drift between memories of home and the harsh reality on the plantation, the camera juxtaposes scenic shots of lush Solomon Island landscapes with the wall-like monotony of the sugar cane fields. Shedding light on the little-known history of Australia's ‘sugar slaves’, Amie Batalibasi’s poetic short is a testament to resilience and the will to survive.'
