“The people who lost have a story as well” - Warwick Thornton

From the beating red heart of Central Australia, Warwick is best known for projects like Sweet Country where he explores identity, history, and the complexity of modern Australia with honesty. 

In this conversation, we dive into his latest project, Wolfram, his experiences working alongside some of the biggest names in Australian film and television, and the responsibility that comes with telling First Nations stories.

We also explore his deep love for cooking, and the role food plays in memory, culture, and creativity beyond the screen.
