‘It’s been a long time coming,’ acclaimed Northern-Territory-born filmmaker Dylan River says on the phone to Screenhub, reminiscing about his bloody, sweaty documentary, Finke: There and Back.
Years in the making, the film depicts a challenge that River was personally invested in with all his heart and soul.
Written, directed and shot by the now 25-year-old River, the documentary captures the adulation and anguish of Alice Springs’ premier sporting event, the Finke Desert Race – the biggest of its kind in Australia, the ‘Bathurst of off-road races’.
