Inspired by a true story, the film follows four Aboriginal women from the Yorta Yorta people, whose homeland is on both sides of the Murray River on the New South-Wales Victoria border.

Last night, about 200 Yorta Yorta family members gathered for the gala opening in Melbourne.

The film already has a global distribution deal, selection for the Toronto Film Festival and wide cinema release in Australia.

It opens next week.
