Windjarrameru, The Stealing C*n$

It's a great day. Four young Indigenous men happen upon two cartons of beer, while another seems to be doing nothing more than kicking back nearby, listening to R&B on his phone. Then everything starts going from bad to worse. Blending Indigenous storytelling with modern worries over environmental degradation and substance abuse Windjarrameru tells a story about a group of young Indigenous men hiding in a chemically contaminated swamp after being falsely accused of stealing some beer, while all around them miners pollute their land.
