Jono, an Indigenous teenager from Brisbane, seeks to connect with his heritage. Supported by his best friend Jenny, they secure roles at the Aboriginal Performing Arts Centre and internships with a documentary crew promoting a controversial mining project in western Queensland. In the rural town of Gambari, Jono faces eerie omens, panic attacks, and visions of Wudun, a malevolent spirit. As he unravels the true story behind the mining venture, Jono's journey becomes a battle for identity and justice. "Borderland," by Fulbright scholar Graham Akhurst, is a thrilling exploration of Indigenous identity, colonisation, and personal resilience.
