“We had this fire, we had this kind of spark”

Powerful, moving and insightful, this award-winning Australian documentary is a behind-the-scenes look at the First Nations cultural powerhouse that is Bangarra Dance Theatre. Celebrating the influential company’s 30th anniversary, directors Nel Minchin and Wayne Blair (The Sapphires, Top End Wedding) bring to spectacular life the story of how three young Aboriginal brothers — Stephen, David and Russell Page — turned the newly born dance group into one of Australia’s leading performing arts companies.
