clip 1, 2Clip description
Ricco wanders through the Alice Springs Library, where he comes across a publication that features his biological grandmother in ceremonial dress on the cover, dancing in protest. We also meet Diana, the new addition to the Ricco’s foster family – 'or mixed up tribe’ as Nanna Maudie puts it.
Curator’s notes
The wonderful aspect of this documentary is that we are present to the emergent world through the eyes of a child, where the world beyond immediate geographical limits is pressing at the boundary of the child Ricco’s imagination. The moments where Ricco engages with the larger picture represented by the adult world tells us that there is much possibility in the life of this little boy, who might otherwise have remained a nameless statistic.
