The film is essentially composed of the musings of one, very articulate, Aboriginal elder. His views are well-reasoned and rational and I came away with a greater outstanding of his culture (I am originally from UK). The film is free from hyperbole, unnecessary gimmicks or graphics. However, it came across occasionally as perhaps just a little one-dimensional; a different perspective(s) would have been a welcome addition.
If I understood correctly, the title is an Aboriginal collective term for the 4 elements that have underscored their culture - beliefs, spirituality, land and family.
This is a well-made documentary that is well worth an hour of anyone's time with the remotest interest in Aboriginal culture.
