A new documentary about Nature Foundation’s Kids on Country program has premiered in Adelaide. The film follows a group of Aboriginal girls from Le Fevre High School on a five-day trip to Witchelina Nature Reserve in the state’s far north.

The film was created by Walkley Award-winning journalist and filmmaker Daniel Clarke, who says he was inspired to share the story after hearing about “the impact these camps were having on First Nations kids.”

“Capturing the change in the kids as they progressed through the week and seeing their hearts and minds opened to their spiritual connection to the land was inspiring,” Daniel says.

The film is available to watch from March 1 on NITV and SBS On Demand. A public screening is being held at the Odeon Star Cinema in Semaphore on February 16.
