A short doco explaining the work of Yiriman, a Youth Project in the Kimberley seeking to build stories in young people. Yiriman and the Back to Country trips were conceived and developed by elders concerned for their young people, particularly in regard for the capacity for self harm and substance abuse, and saw the need for a place where youth could separate themselves from negative influences, and reconnect with their culture in a remote and culturally significant place.

Hang on to community unity.
Governments will destroy it with impunity.
The razor gang
Here with a bang.
Ruddy good show.
Slash and burn .
Then adjourn.
Discuss further economic rationalism.
Create further schism.
Blacks in the bush community are blacklisted,
Courses and resources withdrawn.What for ya do dat.
For a white bench mark of having to achieve.
Five years of art class and where's the achieve you have to leave.
We are still trying to shoot the sentry
like the landed gentry of old
insisting on goals
we don't want clay bowls
we want gold medals
and another society medals in an ancient land and its natural plan.
