Powerful message

This film was extremely eye opening and really highlighted the devastating effects of this drought that we are in. The film is beautifully shot and definitely gets the message across, I would've loved some more time to get invested in the main characters but there's only so much you can do with the time restrictions of a short film. Hopefully a long feature film will come out so we can be fully submerged into minds and emotions of the characters and the hard life they live Overall great film and definitely needs to be seen by the masses so people can realise what tragety this drought really is.
