Written, directed and produced by award-winning auteur filmmaker Rolf de Heer (Dingo, Bad Boy Bubby, The Tracker) The Survival of Kindness uses allegory to analyse race and privilege, as it follows protagonist BlackWoman (South Australian Mwajemi Hussein), abandoned in a cage in the middle of the desert. Following her escape, she walks through pestilence and persecution, from desert to mountain to city, only to find more captivity.
Filmed across various stunning Australian landscapes in South Australia and Tasmania, Survival of Kindness is
led by Australian producer Julie Byrne (AACTA Award winning The Babadook) alongside de Heer, and is
co-produced by Ari Harrison (The Furnace).
