Overview

A sumptious and compelling film adaptation of one of Australia's boldest contemporary operatic works by Andrew & Julianne Schultz. Seen through the eyes of its central character, Miriam, an Aboriginal woman, whose son recently died in police custody and performed by the award winning mezzo soprano, Maroochy Barambah, the film portrays the tormented world of injustice; past and present perpetuated against indigenous Australians.

Directed by Kevin Lucas
