Product Overview

This is a study guide for River of Dreams, a 52-minute documentary that tells of the first phase of a clash between government-backed developers and communities in the Kimberley region in north-western Australia over conflicting ideas about land use. The locals are trying to save their environment from being transformed by a multi-million-dollar proposal to grow vast amounts of genetically engineered cotton in the beautiful, almost pristine land of the Kimberley. The film and accompanying study guide have relevance to studies of English, Civics and Citizenship, Australian History, Humanities, Geography, Legal Studies and Media Arts.
