According to the authors of this piece and the members of the Karrabing Collective of indigenous people in north Australia, a key aim of their films is to push back against forms of documentary cultural representation and other bureaucratized forms of knowledge production about indigenous lives. They argue that the "delusional promise of visual media" cannot capture the sheer magnitude of their lived experiences of settler colonialism as an ongoing, constant condition of life. Their films aim to show the "multi-leveled" worlds within which indigenous families live in.
