Sweet As

A warm and uplifting coming-of-age film from Nyul Nyul/Yawuru director Jub Clerc, following a group of teenagers on a life-changing road trip through Western Australia’s Pilbara region.

When 15-year-old Murra is given an unexpected opportunity to join a supervised “photo-safari for at-risk kids”, she reluctantly leaves behind a difficult home life and sets off on a journey into Country with a group of fellow teens who each carry their own challenges.

As the group travels through remote landscapes, they begin to form unexpected friendships, discovering moments of humour, connection and self-reflection along the way. Against the striking backdrop of the Pilbara, their journey becomes one of growth, resilience and belonging.

This event is part of the City's 2026 NAIDOC Week celebrations. Check out our full program of events here.
