"These days the roofs that shine in the midday sun are on buildings that don’t belong in the outback. Just twenty-two thousand people live in Alice springs yet everybody's heard of the place. It’s the heart of the nation. It once stood for what was special about Australia. But development and progress became the buzzwords and the heart is heading for a massive coronary.”

The Battle for Native Title (handing back of land to traditional owners) has been won. Arrernte people have been recognised as Mparntwe’s (Alice Springs) first inhabitants. The proof of continued occupation rested with their sacred sites still under threat. This documentary explores the continuous struggle by Central Australia’s Arrernte people to maintain their sacred sites and stop the expansion of Alice Springs from swallowing them up.
