Lynette Wallworth returns to the Festival (her works Evolution of Fearlessness and Coral: Rekindling Venus played at the 2008 and 2013 Sundance Film Festivals respectively) with this stunning and deeply poetic live-action/animated documentary which she is presenting at the 2016 World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. Journey with the artist to a remote desert in western Australia to connect with indigenous leader Nyarri Morgan and the Martu tribe. Morgan recounts his profound first contact with Western culture, and the dramatic collision between his traditional world view and the cutting edge of modern technology.

This project was supported by a grant from Stories of Change, a project of Sundance Institute supported by the Skoll Foundation.

As you use our Online Archives, please understand that the information presented from Festivals, Labs, and other activities is taken directly from official publications from each year. While this information is limited and doesn't necessarily represent the full list of participants (e.g. actors and crew), it is the list given to us by the main film/play/project contact at the time, based on the space restrictions of our publications. Each entry in the Online Archives is meant as a historical record of a particular film, play, or project at the time of its involvement with Sundance Institute. For this reason, we can only amend an entry if a name is misspelled, or if the entry does not correctly reflect the original publication.
