- In the 1970s and 1980s, Kimberley Aboriginal workers were involved in weed spraying campaigns organised by the Agricultural Protection Board of Western Australia. They received no training or protection equipment. They were told the chemicals they were mixing and spraying by hand were safe to use. Unbeknownst to them, they were spraying Agent Orange - a mixture of 2,4,5-T and 2,4-D herbicides. Many healthy young Aboriginal men died in their thirties and forties, leaving behind heartbroken parents, partners, siblings, children, and communities. But the impact was not limited to them. The toxins they were spraying affected their wives, who suffered miscarriages and could not have children, and their own children, who were in contact with their clothes. Aunty Lena Buckle, from Derby, lost a daughter, a son, and a grandson. Many of the survivors today have suffered from cancers and other conditions. Many of their grandchildren are also affected, some born with malformations. Senior Nyikina Elder Lucy Marshall AM campaigned for the victims of Agent Orange in the Kimberley, until her death - she received an Order of Australia Medal for her tireless efforts. She passed away in 2021, without the answers she was seeking, having lost a son, a grandson, and a nephew. Some of her son's organs are still held in a facility in Perth - against Aboriginal cultural protocols. Two government enquiries were held in 2003 (led by Dr Andrew Harper) and 2004 (led by Dr Bruce Armstrong). Cancer sufferers were promised compensation - none of the other ailments or deaths were attributed to the use of Agent Orange. The ABC covered the story in a 2014 Four Corners Programme (Chemical Time Bomb). Repeated calls for compensation and recognition of the victims have fallen on deaf ears, due to the statute of limitations. This important documentary gives voice to 42 people, survivors, family and community members, so that their stories are not forgotten.
- How native Aborigines were and still are excluded in many ways from Australian society.
- On 21-27 May, 2017, the Pilbara and Kimberley Aboriginal Media (PAKAM) team, Clint Dixon, Quinton Milner, Ronald Mosquito and Magali McDuffie, were privileged to cover the Walkali Return to Country Trip. Seven hours from Balgo in the Central Tanami Desert, they travelled with Senior Elders Joe Brown, Butcher Wise and their extended families, women from the Kapululangu Centre in Balgo, and the Paruku Rangers from Mulan Community. This trip had been in planning for nearly two years, and was organised by the Kimberley Land Council. It was a very emotional return to country for some of the community members who had not been there in more than 20 years, or whose grand-parents were from there but never had the chance to return. The highlights of the trip included a very moving smoking ceremony, visits to two significant rock holes, story-telling of country, making clap-sticks and bush medicine, a women's dance, hunting bush turkeys, and even the opportunity for two PAKAM crew, Clint Dixon and Quinton Milner, to go up in a helicopter to get some fantastic footage of country from the air.

- Voices for the Martuwarra is a collaborative documentary featuring interviews with members of the Martuwarra Fitzroy River Council (MFRC), scientists, environmentalists, and researchers. Through breathtaking visuals of the Martuwarra, Fitzroy River, and engaging interviews with multiple stakeholders, the film traces the creation of the MFR Council, which was established in 2018 to give a political voice to Traditional Owners of the Fitzroy River Region amidst extensive development plans earmarked for the Kimberley in the mining and agricultural sectors. Since its inception the MFR Council has attracted the attention of leading scientists and researchers, both in Australia and internationally, through its ability to bring together the majority of Traditional Owner groups from the region, and spearheading collaborative, cutting-edge research into various domains: First Law, culture, science, history, economy and development. The MFR Council believes rivers are the lifeblood of our Nation, and is focused on protecting their sacred National Heritage Listed Fitzroy River's Right To Life from proposed invasive developments. Giving voice to many Kimberley Traditional Owners, the film depicts the profound and complex inter-relatedness between culture, Country, Living Waters and people. As a call for action, it also reminds audiences of the reasons why, in the age of the Anthropocene and Climate Emergency, it is more important than ever to listen to Indigenous voices, as they hold solutions for the future of humanity and of our planet.
