On 1 December 1942, a US bomber called Little Eva crashed near Moonlight Creek in Far North Queensland. The events that followed were recorded in the journal of an American survivor and in a spectacular corroboree created by the Yanyuwa people of the Northern Territory who searched for Little Eva and her crew.
AEROPLANE DANCE brings together American and Yanyuwa tales of war with dramatic re-enactments, song and dance. It is a film about survival, storytelling and the creation of legends.
