Wo die grünen Ameisen träumen (1984)
Irgendwo in der australischen Wüste. Zwei uralte Stämme der Aborigines bewahren hier ihre Legenden, ihre Lieder und ihre Gesetze der Schöpfung. Es ist für sie heiliger Boden - der Platz, an dem die grünen Ameisen träumen und den Menschen das Feuer gebracht haben. Doch dieser heilige Boden soll von der Uran Mining Company zerstört werden. Die Firma plant, den kostbaren Rohstoff dort abzubauen und nimmt deswegen Erdräumungsarbeiten vor. Die Ureinwohner geraten in Konflikt mit den modernen Gesetzen Australiens und den Interessen der Wirtschaft. Ein Aufstand aus der Welt der Träume gegen eine ungeduldige Zivilisation, die alles will und nichts begriffen hat. Zitat
