Burnt Country, directed by Kirsten Slemint, explores Australia's ancient fire management practices rooted in 65,000 years of Indigenous knowledge. The film highlights how First Nations people use controlled burns to care for the land, contrasting with modern methods. It advocates blending these traditional practices with contemporary fire management to address Australia's environmental challenges and emphasises the deep connection between Indigenous communities and the landscape.
