"The Witchdoctor and the Windmill” explores the life of the Indigenous artist, Linda Syddick Napaltjarri. She was the last of the world’s 6 ‘clever women’ who after experiencing a fully traditional, nomadic desert childhood went on to win Australia’s biggest art prize.

Linda’s insistence that she had her stepfather’s permission to paint his Dreaming stories (men stories are usually forbidden for women to paint amongst her people; the Pintupi) cast her as a maverick and led to a rift between family and community.
