Where the Green Ants Dream (1984, Wo die grünen Ameisen träumen) by Werner Herzog

 

 

“I think it is important to say at the outset that this case before this High Court is not merely run by Aborigines dispossessed of their Ancestral land by the white man finding in the activity of the Ayers Mining Company a final assault in their believes. It is also a case that traces fundamental, moral questions of great complexity. We must here discover whether the Aboriginal plaintiffs hold in fact in common law a land rights title valid before 1788 tutelaries enacts by Governor Phillips, who by hoisting the flag claimed all of this vast continent for the British Crown.”

The main storyteller of the Goolarabooloo said:

“With my hands encrusted with red dirt, I feel like part of the surrounding earth. I ask Frans what he sees as he looks ahead. "Not looking, but reading, feeling you got to feel it," he says. "It's as if a life force extends from your core, your middle, and it leads you to where you need to go. You become one with the land; you understand how it's all connected, everything but you gotta be aware of it, you gotta listen.”.
Dallas Hewett, “Songline Harmony”, Australian Geographic, Jan/Feb 2013, Issue 112, p. 48-57.
