Reception
Andrew Fenton, The Advertiser states that Hill-Smith is trying to put too much into the film, writing "There are some powerful scenes but the overall result is an unfocused narrative that follows too many threads."[1] Sallie Don wrote in The Australian that "It's via the music that filmmaker Charlie Hill-Smith documents the story, and he pushes you to look beyond the few impressions you may have of this wild and mostly inaccessible part of the world."[2]
