Abstract

In 2014, four Yolngu men from the Arnhem Land township of Ramingining in Australia's north emailed a video clip to David Batty, who has been making films with Indigenous people for over 30 years1. Chico, Jerome, Dino and their adopted white brother, Joe, sent Batty footage of their crocodile hunting exploits and invited him to create a television series with them. The result was the 24-part series Black As.
