On the Fence

Synopsis

Stretching more than 5,600 kilometres across the country, the Dingo Fence stands as a symbol of one of Australia’s longest-running and most complex debates. On one side, livelihoods depend on protecting livestock. On the other, a native apex predator plays a vital role in the health of our ecosystems. On The Fence is a feature documentary that brings together graziers, scientists, First Nations voices and conservationists to explore the people, landscapes and ideas at the heart of this conversation. Rather than asking who is right or wrong, On The Fence asks a different question: are we willing to coexist with apex predators and learn from the mistakes of our past?
