| Summary |
"In the early 1900s Swedish Scientist, Eric Mjoberg set off to the Kimberley region of Western Australia in an attempt to prove his human evolution theory. What he didn't know was that his expedition would have dire repercussions for years to follow for the Indigenous people of Australia, and himself. Whilst in Western Australia, Mjoberg became obsessed with the Aboriginal people, and what started off as collecting native flora and fauna for research, soon lead to the desecration of sacred burial grounds and the smuggling of human remains back to Sweden." -- website |
