Burnt Country delves into Australia’s ancient practice of fire management, drawing on over 65,000 years of Indigenous knowledge. The film explores how First Nations people use controlled burns to manage the landscape, a method that contrasts with modern fire suppression techniques. By highlighting the wisdom and deep connection to the land held by Indigenous communities, Burnt Country presents a compelling argument for blending ancient practices with contemporary fire management to help secure Australia's future amidst growing environmental challenges. It is an invitation to reconnect with the country and community.
