Where the Green Ants Dream
1984 · 100 MIN · IMDB 6.9 · 2,751 VOTES · DIR. Werner Herzog
Overview
The Australian Aborigines (in this film anyway) believe that this is the place where the green ants go to dream, and that if their dreams are disturbed, it will bring down disaster on us all. The Aborigines' belief is not shared by a giant mining company, which wants to tear open the soil and search for uranium.
