YANA DJAMAGA GANJI / WALK GOOD FIRE (2024)

In late 2019, Australia's South Coast burned red, hot, and black. When the ash settled, First Nations voices were the first to emerge from the deafening silence. Yana Djamaga Ganji / Walk Good Fire is an Indigenous-led film that follows the Walbunja Rangers back out onto Yuin Country, as they work with cultural fire to heal both the coast and their people.

Walking alongside Elders and youngsters across luxury resorts to crown lands, this documentary follows the resurgence of cultural burning in Australia’s Southeast, addressing the ongoing mismanagement of Country and the misconceptions around cultural burning as an isolated practice.

As out-of-control fires begin to spark again across the Australian continent, this documentary offers a well-overdue look into the holistic approach of First Nations’ land management practices, ultimately encouraging others to understand, and help reclaim, the healing benefits of walking good fire for all Australians.
