On the Fence (2026)

Spanning over 5,600 kilometers across the Australian continent, the Dingo Fence is far more than a barrier—it’s a living monument to one of the nation’s most enduring and contentious conflicts. On one side of the wire, livelihoods hinge on safeguarding cattle and sheep; on the other, an indigenous apex predator quietly sustains the ecological balance. The feature documentary On The Fence threads together the voices of graziers, scientists, Indigenous custodians, and conservationists, diving deep into the human stories, vast landscapes, and shifting philosophies that define this age-old standoff. But instead of picking a side or declaring winners and losers, the film poses a far more provocative question: Can we truly learn to share the land with top predators—and are we brave enough to rewrite the lessons of history?
