The film tells the story of a tribe on a hunt in the swampy wilderness of Northern Australia. It explores themes of loyalty, tradition, and the power of storytelling.

Crocodile Dreaming is a modern day supernatural myth about two estranged brothers, played by iconic Indigenous actors David Gulpill and Tom E. Lewis. Separated at birth, they have different fathers. One is readily accepted as a full-fledged member of the tribe and is looked on to fulfill the duties of jungaiy, an important ceremonial role which obliges him to be caretaker for his mother's dreaming, the crocodile totem. The other, whose father was white, is younger and has had to struggle to fit into the tribe who see him only as a yella fella.

Presented by Michael Cathcart, this is one of Australia's great untold stories of escaped convict, William Buckley's amazing story of survival - living for over 30 years with an Aboriginal tribe.
