""In this deeply engaging and beautifully written book, anthropologist William Lempert asks us to join him on his journey into remote Australia as he collaborates over many years on a number of films envisioned by and made with the remarkable Aboriginal elder and Kukatja leader Mark Moora. Lempert’s vivid prose invites us to consider the dilemmas facing contemporary Indigenous Australians and shows how they are reimagining their lives through the transformative possibilities of Aboriginal cinema in the face of a too-often dystopian present.""-Faye Ginsburg, director, Center for Media, Culture, and History, New York University   ""Building trust and creating a lifelong relationship of respect guided through the lived experiences of the people, the land, and living kin, William Lempert mastered the journey to ‘listen with his eyes and see with his ears.’ Dreaming Down the Track fuses chapters through circular storytelling, connecting the past, present, and future into our current moment. A must-read for those who want to learn how to be brave.""-Anne Poelina, chair, Nulungu Research Institute, University of Notre Dame Australia, and Martuwarra Fitzroy River Council
