How do Australia's native owners dream climate change? How do this country's custodians explain a destructive phenomenon brought about by the disastrous decisions of those who have worked hardest to displace them? How do the communities with the deepest knowledge of the land we live on see and understand its continued resilience and adaptation to what crimes are inflicted every second of every day? In a performance so compelling it made me question why I was wasting time watching it instead of writing more-than-firm letters to local government, Cut the Sky is undeniably unmissable.
