Overview
Fifty years ago, a group of striking Aboriginal stockmen in the remote Northern Territory of Australia herald a revolution in the cattle industry and a massive shift in Aboriginal affairs. A Handful of Sand tells the story behind the Gurindji people's famous Wave Hill Walk-off in 1966, and questions the meaning of the return of their land by Gough Whitlam in 1975.
