Murky Waters

In Murky Waters was made on Barkandji country, and we pay our respects to their elder’s past, present and emerging.

It made headlines around the world in January of 2019 - millions of native fish perishing in the drying Murray-Darling Basin. The Murray-Darling – or Barka as it’s known by its traditional owners – has been at the centre of controversy for decades. And there is little sign of resolution.

Megan Williams takes us back to that January in 2019 and follows the man-made destruction of Australia’s largest river system.
