Through the eyes of eight protagonists, We Are Still Here traverses 1000 years from past, present, and future to explore stories of kinship, loss, grief, and resilience. But ultimately, it shows the strength of love and hope to overcome shared traumas that Indigenous people from Australia, New Zealand and the South Pacific have continued to face.
From the beginning of time, in a Utopian world, a traditional fisherwoman and her Daughter are fishing when they pull up an ominous ship, foreshadowing stormy seas and tragedy to follow. Forward to 1862, a British Settler threatens an Aboriginal man to lead him to safety, whilst in New Zealand, tribes cocooned deep in the forest are preparing for a terrifying future.
In 1915, men from the Pacific were sent to support the British Colony in World War One fighting for a land that isn’t theirs, with uncertainty of ever seeing home again. Flashing forward into a dystopian future, a young child must navigate her way through a dangerous underground marketplace to save her grandfather and survive.
We Are Still Here showcases the expansive landscapes of the Central Australian Desert to the lush green rainforests of New Zealand.
In spite of colonialism, racism, imperialism and the attempted erasure of Indigenous lives, WE ARE STILL HERE.

THE ROAD DANCE
Based on the acclaimed novel by John MacKay, The Road Dance is adapted for the screen and directed by Richie Adams. Inspired by true events, this period drama centres on a young woman in a small community on the Isle of Lewis (off the coast of Scotland) in the years leading up to World War I.
Graeme Tuckett Stuff 4/5 Stars “The Road Dance is a sweeping epic of a type we don’t see much of any more. Despite the isolated and confined setting of the island – although we do travel to France with Murdo at times – this is still a film which absolutely fills the screen with startling land and seascapes at the merest provocation.”

Life in the Scottish Hebrides is harsh – the edge of the world some call it. For the beautiful Kirsty (Hermione Corfield), her love for Murdo and their shared dreams of America promise escape from the scrape of the land and a stifled destiny. But the Great War changes all when Murdo is conscripted. The night before the young men go off to battle, tragedy is set in motion as villagers swirl and sup at a “road dance.”
Kirsty herself faces the horrors of a sexual assault that leaves her pregnant—and with few options…
