The Screen Guide

Balgo is an Aboriginal community on the northern edge of the Gibson Desert in Western Australia - a strange mixture of an ex-Catholic mission and a government administered community. The isolation of the desert people and the fact that they had little contact with white Australia until the 1940s means that the older people have maintained their cultural traditions. The film provides an intimate look at the community.
