Murray-Darling Basin for Cox Inall Ridgeway

We worked with the First Nations social agency Cox Inall Ridgeway, to support a Healthy Rivers and Sustainable Communities campaign for the Federal Government.

The content celebrates the profound connections First Nations peoples have with the Murray Darling Basin. We worked with Indigenous communities in Menindee and Murray Bridge as well as Kamilaroi artist Sonny Green.

We wrote, directed and designed a suite of content, producing several live-action community-driven documentaries, a poetry video, a short doco on Sonny Green, photographs and social tiles. These pieces are available to view on the Department’s webpage now.
