Undermined: Tales From The Kimberley

1h 32m Documentary, Australia, Australian 2018

Mining, pastoralism and irrigated agriculture threaten Australia's vast and unspoiled Kimberley region.

Australia’s vast and unspoiled Kimberley region is under threat, with mining, pastoralism and irrigated agriculture driving an unprecedented land grab. Undermined investigates the politics of an area now branded ‘the future economic powerhouse of Australia’, and what this means for our First People and their unique cultural landscapes. As pressure from industry exposes the limits of Indigenous land rights, what will remain of over 200 remote Indigenous communities? We follow young leader, Albert Wiggan, veteran cattleman, Kevin Oscar, and Senior Elder, June Davis, through a David-and-Goliath battle to preserve their homelands, asking the question: for whose benefit is this development?
