Yurlu | Country (Yaara Bou Melhem / Australia / 1 hour 19 mins / English / 2025) Trailer

Inside Wittenoom, Australia’s Chernobyl

Aboriginal Elder Maitland Parker calls his Yurlu (homeland) in Western Australia “poison country”; this haunting truth is etched into his body as he lives with terminal cancer resulting from asbestos exposure. A vivid ode to land, Maitland confronts government inaction and corporate greed to heal ancestral lands.

At ALT EFF 2026, we are meeting the times.
When the world feels like it is coming apart, we look to art as witness, joy as resistance, and cinema as a way home to each other.

This film is one of many stories we are bringing together this year at the All Living Things Environmental Film Festival, December 3 to 13, 2026.

Catch in-person screenings at our flagship events:
• Mumbai: December 4 to 6, Nehru Science Centre
• Ahmedabad: December 10 to 13, UKBB & CEPT University
