Synopsis

Made by award-winning director Warwick Thornton, this documentary will explore the ’fortunate life’ of one old noodler as he talks about his experiences in the early days of droving, mining and noodling. THE OLD MAN AND THE INLAND SEA is a moving and atmospheric documentary that gives us a unique Aboriginal perspective on the benefits of work and the dangers of alcohol and greed.
