River of Dreams explores the radically divergent approaches to 'country' between indigenous and non-indigenous people, conservationists and developers at Fitzroy River, in the 'remote' Kimberley region of northwest Australia.
River of Dreams shows the implications for Indigenous people as developers seek to dam the river and develop huge cotton plantations. Aboriginal performance artist Ningali Lawford, who was born in Fitzroy Crossing, narrates this imaginative and rich account of differing visions for the future of 'landscape' and 'country' in contemporary Australia.
