In the Sandstone country south-west of Katherine, Northern Territory lies a spectacular concentration of Aboriginal rock art on ancestral beings, the Lightning Brothers. This film shows how the Wardaman people see the Lightning Brothers as part of their living culture. They perform traditional songs and ceremonies associated with the special Dreamtime places where the art is found.
