- DirectorDavid TranterStarsRosalie RileyAlison AndersonHerbie Bloom'Living Country' observes the campaign by Aboriginal people of central Australia to protect their land and lives from two proposed sites for uranium dump sites. For these people, their land sustains life: the land feeds and heals. Traditional bush tucker has fed generations, the bush supplies medicines, and these traditional homelands hold sacred sites and are the focus of ceremonial rites and dreaming stories. Steve McCormack and his family live 4km from one of the proposed sites on the Tanami Highway, 25km north-west of Alice Springs. They worry about the effect of the toxic waste on their water supply and bush tucker, as well as their own health. At Engawala homestead, 125km north-east of Alice Springs, and 12km from another proposed site, traditional owners Herbie Bloom and Kenny Tilmouth talk about their reliance on bush food. They stress the urgency for everyone to speak up and protest.

In the kingdom of the Crow, that means imprisonment at St. Dymphna's. That means being at the mercy of "Popper", the sadistic Indian agent who runs the school.
- DirectorJeff BarnabyStarsGlen GouldKaniehtiio HornKent McQuaidA bi-racial menage a trois drenched in surrealist urban skank. Maytag, a reservation displaced Mi'gMaq, latches onto the only other Indian within light years of the city only to have her snatched away by his drug dealer and friend. Sadistically lovesick and drug addled, Maytag launches an insecticide on the cockroaches that have colonized his trailer convinced that they helped steal his fiance. Heart broken and thoroughly crushed, he turns to his only friend for solace, his chainsaw. A demented allegory on miscegenation, the plight of modern native Canadians and their affinity for self-destruction.
