About the film

Nagana Yarrbayn: The Water Protectors follows Senior Cultural Custodian Adrian Burragubba from the sacred Doongmabulla Springs to the courtroom, the community, and the national stage—documenting the Wangan and Jagalingou (W&J) fight to protect their ancestral waters from destruction by Adani’s Carmichael mine.

Produced by Kim Paul Nguyen (Frontiers Media) in collaboration with W&J Nagana Yarrbayn Cultural Custodians, the film captures both the beauty of these ancient springs and the determination of the custodians to fulfil their sacred obligation under First Law to protect them.
