The Australian Aborigines have a saying “The green ants dream.” It’s about a time when they were fighting a great battle. The women and children were hiding in the caves and the men were fighting. The women were singing and the children were playing. Then the green ants dreamed.
In the dream the green ants saw the men fighting and the women and children hiding in the caves. They also saw the men being killed and the women and children being captured. The green ants dreamed that they could save the men and the women and children.
When the green ants woke up they went to the men and told them about the dream. The men were so inspired by the dream that they fought harder and won the battle.
This is a great movie about the power of dreams and the power of the Aboriginal culture.
