The Swamp

This resource features the Yolngu-made film The Swamp. Students are provided with the opportunity to watch it and engage in a discussion exploring its genre, deviations from traditional documentary format, its impact on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander storytelling, challenges faced by the Yolngu people, and the film's key messages for both Yolngu and non-Yolngu audiences. They will also analyse key elements such as colour, sound, narration style, and language to understand their role in conveying meaning and engaging the audience.
