Before we left the Sunshine Coast a few weeks ago, the four of us were able to spend a day at Australia's Dreaming Festival, a celebration of indigenous culture. The experience was all-in-all quite spectacular, although we would've loved to have spent the full 4 days camping on site. We had initially been under the impression that the event focused on Aboriginal culture, but we soon found out it was a festival for all indigenous culture of the world - from the local Aboriginals to the Native Americans of Canada.
We were lucky enough to wander into the film tent at just the right time, where we saw a fantastic film called Bran Nue Dae. It follows a young Aboriginal man from Broome in Western Australia as he tries to find his place in the world and of course, get the girl. The whole film is incredibly well done, has some fantastic music and some surprising cameos. Very funny, sweet, charming, and eye-opening and if you can find it in the states definitely see it!!
