Contact is constructed around one of the most extraordinary pieces of footage in Australian history: The moment where a group of Martu women and children walk out from the nomadic existence of millennia in the Western Desert into a new universe of European modernity. Remarkably, this footage has never been seen in a documentary. Just as remarkable is that participants from both the Aboriginal and European sides are alive to tell their story. This production is a joint French/Australian submission to INPUT.
