Thirst

Beyond climate tipping points there is the time of The Failing. Harry Sinclair aging ex-CEO of Clearwater Corporation travels the fringes of an ever-expanding Australian desert. Perched on a dray pulled by his only companion a fractious camel Harry is haunted by his past as a water prospector who in the search for water drove the beleaguered inhabitants of the west from their lands. A gentle and hauntingly beautiful cli-fi road-trip Thirst meanders through an outback broken by unending drought. Interwoven through a vast Australian landscape Thirst explores the future challenges caused by our present inaction on climate change and our over-exploitation of natural resources and at its conclusion reveals a glimmer of hope at the chaotic end of the 21st century.
