- WARNING: Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander viewers are advised that the following program may contain images and/or audio of deceased persons
A coming-of-age drama, Sweet As follows Murra, a troubled Aboriginal teenager who joins an at-risk youth photography trip through the Pilbara. Across the journey, Murra begins to build confidence, identity and a sense of belonging.
In this scene, Mitch (Tasma Walton) speaks to the ancestors and asks them for safe passage for herself and the teens. The scene shows how Murra is learning more about her culture and identity as a young First Nations person.
Directed by Jub Clerc, Sweet As explores first love and the contemporary challenges young people face – particularly around identity and connection. It offers an honest coming-of-age story that does not shy away from the complexities of growing up.
