Where the Green Ants Dream

A geologist working for an Australian mining company clashes with indigenous Australians who consider their land sacred, sparking a dispute over land rights.

A geologist is hired by an Australian mining company to map a desert area, but his work is hindered by Aboriginal people who claim that disturbing the area will destroy humanity. The company offers various solutions, including money and a percentage of potential revenue, but the dispute eventually goes to court. Despite the company's legal victory, the Aboriginal people emerge morally victorious, and a surprising twist is revealed when some Aboriginal people arrive from the mountains, telling a story about a giant winged ant that fell from the sky.
