Reg Dodd grew up at Finniss Springs, on striking desert country bordering South
Australia's Lake Eyre. For the Arabunna and for many other Aboriginal people,
Finniss Springs has been a homeland and a refuge. It has also been a cattle
station, an Aboriginal mission, a battlefield, a place of learning, and a living
museum. With his long-time friend and filmmaker Malcolm McKinnon, Dodd reflects
on his upbringing in a cross-cultural environment that defied social conventions
of the time. They also write candidly about the tensions surrounding power,
authority, and Indigenous knowledge that have defined the recent decades of this
resource-rich area. Talking Sideways is part history, part memoir, and part
cultural road-map. Together, Dodd and McKinnon reveal the unique history of this
extraordinary place and share their concerns and their hopes for its future.
