Film synopsis:

In the heart of Australia, a group of Aboriginal high school students embark on a life-changing journey that blends ancient traditions with modern conservation practices.

Kids on Country follows nine young Aboriginal women from Le Fevre High School in South Australia as they immerse themselves in a week-long adventure focused on caring for Country, developing leadership skills, and strengthening their cultural identity.

Over five days, they work with Traditional Owners and Aboriginal mentors at Nature Foundation’s Witchelina Nature Reserve, exploring the connection between land, culture, and conservation. From bush medicine to sustainable land management, they gain invaluable knowledge about the practices that have sustained Aboriginal people for millennia. This immersive experience empowers the girls to become future leaders equipped with the confidence and skills to positively impact their communities and the environment.

Through stunning landscapes, heartfelt stories, and unforgettable moments, Kids on Country shows how cultural pride, education, and environmental stewardship can shape the next generation of Aboriginal leaders.

This documentary highlights the strength of community, the beauty of Aboriginal traditions, and the transformative power of caring for Country—an inspiring journey that will resonate with the participants for years to come.

Join us on this emotional journey as these Junior Rangers connect with Country, their culture, and themselves.
