When the Snake Bites the Sun is the third in a trilogy of films which presents a compelling account of the return by a group of dispossessed Aboriginal people to their ancient tribal grounds in the northern outreaches of this continent. It follows on from the highly acclaimed and award-winning Lalai-Dreamtime (an account of an old man's return to his ancestral land) and Floating (a heart-rending portrayal of Aboriginal culture's collision with the arrogance of white civilisation).

(1986, 57 mins)  A Film Australia production.
