In Wellington, a small town in western NSW, four friends talk candidly about life, friendship and what it means to belong.

Talking About Belonging explores how relationships shape identity – not just between the four men, but with their families, the townspeople, and the filmmakers themselves.

Philip Robertson and sociologist Dale Gillen revisit the group after a community screening, inviting reflection on what the original film captured – and what it didn’t. It’s thoughtful, unguarded and rich with quiet revelations.

From the series Three Communities.
