Mabo (7:24 minutes)
// Philip McLaren

Violent electrical storms across Australia connect hundreds of indigenous youths who set off on a graffiti awareness campaign. This appears to be in reaction to hastily rescinded Indigenous land rights by Australia’s federal government. Using chalk, they write one word in beautiful copperplate … Mabo. Their marks are washed away by the next rainfall, but are quickly replaced.
