Una società mineraria, la Ayers Mining Company, scava e sconvolge il paesaggio dell'Australia del nord alla ricerca dell'uranio, mentre un gruppo di aborigeni si oppone all'avanzata del progresso, rivendicando il diritto a conservare, insieme al territorio, le proprie tradizioni e sogni. Ma in tribunale perderanno la loro battaglia. Ancora una volta, Werner Herzog ci racconta, in uno dei suoi film insieme più didattici e sentiti, la bancarotta della civiltà occidentale attraverso una favola ecologica di grande impatto lirico e visivo.

Where the Green Ants Dream (1984)
100 min
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.
