Jub Clerc's debut feature film Sweet As, inspired by her own teenage experiences, is uplifting coming-of-age road movie about unconventional friendships, first crushes and finding who you are on the road less travelled.
In remote Pilbara country in Western Australia, troubled 16 year old Indigenous girl, Murra, finds herself abandoned after an explosive incident with her drug fuelled mother. On the cusp of being lost in the ‘Child Protection’ system, an unusual lifeline is thrown her way by her uncle Ian, the local cop, in the form of a unique Photo Safari. Before Murra knows it, she is careening down a dusty highway with a minibus full of ‘at risk’ teens and two charismatic team leaders.
Join cast & crew from the film as they share their stories, experiences and learnings from this exceptional film.
