The Breakfast Club meets the outback in this uplifting and beautiful coming-of-age road movie by Nyul Nyul / Yawuru director Jub Clerc. Western Canada premiere!

Sweet As is the uplifting first feature by Jub Clerc, a Nyul Nyul/Yawuru woman from the Kimberley region of Western Australia. Partially inspired by her own childhood, Clerc’s film is a tender, assured story of an Indigenous girl’s coming of age and a much-needed fresh take on this enduring genre, enhanced by Shantae Barnes-Cowan’s layered and captivating performance as Murra.

Recommended ages 12+. Some mature themes and strong language.
