Short films that tell the stories of indigenous people from Australia to America and around the globe.
Whether an oral history is passed down, a living history is carried on by youngsters, or truths are confronted and dealt with every day, the characters in this collection of short films have stories that must be heard. In one exciting adventure, with their country under threat from a huge dust cloud and the mysterious Takers that lurk within, a small group of Indigenous kids in Australia have to make their way to the Thalu, a place of great power. In the last film, being Native American is to be challenged, to be strong and to be resilient. It is not to be silenced, but to be heard for those who have lost their ability to speak. Join this dynamic activist as she shares her family and community's journey to retain the sacred rituals and values of their culture.
