The cinematography is incredible, boasting beautiful moments from Brewarrina country. What’s more wonderful about this film is the community forged within it. Imogen Thomas worked hard to collaborate with the Brewarrina community to create authenticity - and it shows. This film supports the creation and telling of Indigenous stories, by Indigenous people, with Indigenous actors. It’s so important to watch these films and open our minds and condition our hearts to lessons unknown. The film advocates for a response of White Australians to personally and actively seek interest in Indigenous people, stories and culture - and watching this film can be the start. - Lily Meek Read Lily's full article... https://www.maketheswitch.com.au/article/review-emu-runner-another-great-win-for-indigenous-storytelling
