"The killing of George Floyd by police officers in the US has drawn more attention to what is happening to our First Nations people, and it’s very important and timely to be showing this documentary," says Grant.

Written and directed by Cornel Ozies, who grew up in the Kimberley and whose short film Jarlmadangah: Our Dream Our Reality won Best Documentary at the 2008 Cherokee Film Festival, Our Law was made with the co-operation of the Warakurna community. Prior to filming, Ozies spent two weeks getting to know the locals, with the help of Yarnangu elders Daisy Ward and Bernard Newberry.

“Because Warakurna is well known for its art, the [locals] are a bit reserved because people come in, document their stories and leave,” Ozies explains. “They’re wary of media. So we had to make sure they felt part of the process. Also, this film is about the community and their engagement with Wendy and Revis. We respected that relationship and made sure that nothing would jeopardise it. We basically gave editorial control to the Indigenous mob.”

Despite the project coinciding with initiation time, and a tragic death, events that would normally close the community to outsiders, the crew was permitted to keep filming.

“That they were still open to having us out there during that time shows you how much they value Wendy and Revis and the story that they wanted to tell,” says Ozies.

Not every interaction shown is of the friendly neighbourhood-cop kind, but, as Ward comments in the film, the “gentle way” in which Ryder and Kelly go about even their least pleasant work, is a far cry from the approach of some other police officers.

Just last year, walking to work in Sydney, Ozies was detained by police who insisted on conducting a background check on him for outstanding warrants. It’s not difficult to understand why, despite having several family members serving in the force, Ozies mistrusts police.

“It’s sad because you know there are great officers out there doing great stuff in communities, but you don’t see it,” he says. “You see a lot of the negative. This documentary shows a positive story about police. I think if you can show success, maybe WA Police will invest more in these kinds of programs and that benefits the wider community, in the end.”

Grant was also harassed by police last year, while buying a bottle of wine in Alice Springs to take to a BYO restaurant after wrapping a documentary. The officer who demanded her ID (but not that of her non-Indigenous producer) was clearly not an NITV viewer.

“Sadly, the people who need to see these programs are not watching,” she says.

The outcome of a recent post by Netflix to Facebook calling for its Australian viewers to switch over to NITV’s The Point is evidence of how quickly that can change. The current affairs program’s usual viewership of 1-2000 increased that night to 25-26,000.

“If we can see more things like that happening, that would be a great result,” says Grant.
