Where the Green Ants Dream

(1984)Directed by Werner Herzog100 minDrama

In the Australian desert, a giant mining company arrives to tear open the ground and search for uranium. Werner Herzog follows the geologist Lance Hackett's survey crew onto land that Miliritbi (Wandjuk Marika) and Dayipu (Roy Marika) hold sacred, the place where the green ants go to dream. Their belief is that if the dreaming is disturbed, disaster follows for everyone, and the two men stand at the edge of the dig, certain the company is not listening.
