What is the true cost of doing business?
“★★★★ A vivid patchwork of greens, ochres and golds which banishes any thought of outback Australia as a khaki and dun-coloured land…
a powerful tug of war between miners, agricultural industries and Aboriginal people… powerfully persuasive.”
– Sydney Morning Herald

Synopsis:
Australia’s vast and unspoiled Kimberley region is under threat, with mining, pastoralism and irrigated agriculture driving an unprecedented land grab. Undermined investigates the politics of an area now branded “the future economic powerhouse of Australia,” and what this means for First Nations people and unique cultural landscapes.
As pressure from industry exposes the limits of Native Title land rights, what will remain for over 200 remote Aboriginal communities?
We follow young leader Albert Wiggan, veteran cattleman Kevin Oscar and Senior Elder June Davis through David-and-Goliath battles to preserve their homelands, asking the question: what is the true cost of doing business?
