content: This short film, shot in 1957-58, documents an outing to gather bushfoods by a group of
women and children. The younger women, led by N!ai, bait a nest of wasps. As the day
wears on, Debe, N!ai's youngest son, grows restless. Di!ai asks N!ai to take Debe home,
but she refuses, and walks off to join the younger women. The film explores the
interactions between these women as they engage in their everyday pursuit of food. This
film is a companion to DEBE'S TANTRUM.
