Synopsis
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 This appears to be in reaction to hastily rescinded Indigenous Land Rights by Australia’s Federal Government.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.
