SYNOPSIS: Sweet As (Australia, 2022)

"Everyone and everything is a story, but what about finding the right  words? This is something that fifteen-year-old Murra discovers while  travelling on a photo-excursion for disadvantaged youth through the  ancient natural landscapes of her Aboriginal homeland. In the course of  one eventful week of wild camping and wandering through historic  Indigenous sites, Murra reconnects with her ancestral roots, makes  friends for life, experiences the disappointments of heartbreak but  discovers also her love for photography. As the camera and the images  she creates calibrate her with a fresh point of view to the world, Murra  sees new possibilities for her future. Sweet As  celebrates resilience, growth, hope and love and the importance of  finding one’s very own voice in the process."
