The Survival of Kindness

96 min | 4 May 2023

Mature themes and violence

Battling privilege and pestilence while not knowing if she's alive or dead, BlackWoman finds skeletons and has her boots stolen.

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).
