They Live in Forests, They Are Extremely Shy

They Live in Forests, They Are Extremely Shy tells the fictionalised story of an Indigenous Australian man invited to London for the Colonial Exhibition of 1886. He's a reluctant ambassador, negotiating for the safety of his people and ancestral land as the British Empire continues to colonise and brutalise indigenous Australians.The guests see him as part-dignitary and part-novelty. He plays the “good native”, until a chance encounter forces him to decide whether to live his life with diplomacy or authenticity.
