In 1945, at the age of seven, a young Joe Eggmolesse was diagnosed with Leprosy. He was immediately removed from his family and home and transported under police escort over a thousand kilometres to be confined on an island for the treatment of the disease. For the next ten years, a leprosarium for Aboriginal people became his home. A lush tropical idyll off the north east coast of Australia, Fantome Island was the home to a close knit community of indigenous lepers who made the most of their existence as people living on the fringes of the marginalised. Now as a 73 year old Joe reflects on his indelible Fantome years. His incredible, poignant story offers a profound insight into one of Australias hidden histories.

The scorching interior of the oldest continent is home to one of Australias toughest inhabitants- the mighty Red Kangaroo. In this inhospitable yet magnificent land Rusty takes on everything the sunburnt country can throw at him. From the moment he is born Rustys quest for life begins, as he hauls his tiny body to his mothers pouch. Establishing Australias dramatic arid interior using image stabilised aerial cinematography, we are drawn into Rustys world. Extremely rare footage of a Red Kangaroo birth and specialised in-pouch cameras capture an intimate portrait of Rustys development from within the pouch. We are introduced to Rustys formidable neighbours through close encounters with wedge-tailed eagles, dingoes, venomous snakes and giant monitor lizards. And also some entertaining and gentle neighbours such as a troupe of emus and the bizarre shingleback lizard. While Rusty must prove himself among his own kind he must also survive attacks from predators. Above all, this is a story of survival against the odds and what it takes to endure drought, heatwave, and bushfire. Rusty struggles to prove his strength, not only in the conquest for dominance, but against the very land itself. The land upon which his species has evolved over tens of thousands of years, and that still manages to challenge his very existence.
