Clip description

Over western-style music and low-angle close-ups of Ugg boots, the narrator introduces the story: this is a battle over a trademark. We are then introduced to the main players, Bruce and Bronwyn McDougall, at their sheep farm in Western Australia.

Curator’s notes

This humorous use of the spaghetti western style sets the tone of the narrative that is sustained throughout the film.
