Join us for a screening of this fascinating documentary about the ongoing struggle to combat Australia's desertification.

Synopsis: Australia is struck on two fronts by numerous hardships: the areas bordering the desert are huge meat factories, the heart of the desert is consumed by a dramatic proliferation of animals introduced by the colonists, and are now left to their own devices.

The country is experiencing an increase of all the extremes: sand storms, bush fires, droughts, flash floods, extreme temperatures, poor soil, lack of drinking water.

Faced with urgency, the government sends scientists to converse with the First Nations people for a sharing of know-how. They discover some of their secrets.
