This film is the true story of the first white woman to travel into Australian wilderness (known as the Never Never). This visually stunning film portrays a woman overcoming sexist and racial prejudice in the outback. She struggles to be seen as an equal in the harsh terrain but long held prejudices are hard to overcome. Another important facet of the film deals with the tragic consequences of white settlement in the aboriginal territory. The early relationships of the Australian Aborigines and white Australians provides an interesting look into Australian history.
