Where the Green Ants Dream
Directed by Werner Herzog
Produced by ZDF, Pro-ject Filmproduktion
A meditative legal and spiritual drama about the collision between indigenous land rights and industrial exploitation, grounded in Aboriginal cosmology and environmental ethics.
The Australian Aborigines (in this film anyway) believe that this is the place where the green ants go to dream, and that if their dreams are disturbed, it will bring down disaster on us all. The Aborigines' belief is not shared by a giant mining company, which wants to tear open the soil and search for uranium.
