Having shared a cultural bonding experience they have a chance to overcome their personal differences.
Curator’s notes
This beautifully shot underwater clip highlights the sheer size and majesty of the saltwater crocodile and portrays the oneness between the crocodile and Burrimmilla. The film describes the special relationship between the crocodile and the custodians of the crocodile dreaming.
