Sweet As

In remote Pilbara country in Western Australia, troubled 16-year-old Indigenous girl, Murra, finds herself abandoned after an explosive incident with her addict mother. On the cusp of being lost in the child protection system, an unusual lifeline is thrown her way by her uncle Ian, the local cop, in the form of a unique photo safari. Before Murra knows it, she is careening down a dusty highway with a minibus full of at-risk teens and two charismatic team leaders. Will this be the lifeline Murra needs or the catalyst for her demise?

An uplifting coming-of-age road movie about unconventional friendships, first crushes and finding who you are on the road less travelled.

“One of those rare films that will leave you grinning from ear to ear… Sweet As is destined for ‘Aussie Classic’ status.” ~Silvi Vann-Wall, Screenhub Australia
