Plot summary

The Australian Aborigines (in this film anyway) believe that this is the place where the green ants go to dream, and that if their dreams are disturbed, it will bring down disaster on us all. The Aborigines' belief is not shared by a giant mining company, which wants to tear open the soil and search for uranium.

Herzog's self-reflective depiction of the perhaps fatal clash

Herzog's self-reflective depiction of the perhaps fatal clash of humanity is both intriguing and treats the material with utmost seriousness,

This little film completely caught me off guard

This little film completely caught me off guard thinking it was a documentary but ultimately a low key drama filmed all in rural South Australia. The story of a mining companies struggle to move forward with the indigenous community due to their fierce love of the land to be mined. All through rather low key & acting excluding the indigenous was a bit so so. It's an interesting sleeper of a film & great to see if you are a fan of the infamous Werner Herzog.

Director Werner Herzog's fascination with the natural world

Director Werner Herzog's fascination with the natural world is well documented and Where the Green Ants Dream is no exception. The film, set in rural Australia, focuses on a land dispute between a mining company and local aboriginals, who believe that the land is sacred and any disruption to it will ultimately result in the destruction of humanity. Filled with expansive pans, it is a beautifully shot film that effectively captures the vast expanse of land that is so revered by its inhabitants, rendering the dialogue, which is minimal throughout, almost irrelevant. The courtroom scenes do tend to detract from the overall power of the movie, but it remains a scathing indictment of the cost of progress.
