- In 2010 Australia was facing the worst drought in recorded history. At the end of the river in the Coorong, Ngarrindjeri Elder Uncle Moogy grew tired of watching his ancestral home die, and so united a group of different Aboriginal River Nations in a 2300-kilometre pilgrimage to dance the spirit back into the river and into themselves. By the time they had finished the drought had broken and what followed was the wettest wet season in living memory with floods throughout the basin.

- Ngemba woman Jenny Shillingsworth travels from her home in Minto, south-west Sydney back to her birthplace - Brewarrina - a small and once thriving town in the far reaches of north-west NSW. She goes to visit her mother, Grace, and her extended family. Taken away by authorities at a young age and brought up in a Christian home, Jenny has had to rekindle her relationship with her mother over the years and rediscover her culture. Until recently, Murawarri woman Lily Shearer lived in Belmore, in Sydney's west. After 27 years of living off country she moved back to Brewarrina to spend time with her mother, Noeleen. Lily talks of the strong family and cultural values Noeleen instilled in her and her brothers. Invited into the rhythm of the everyday, Noeleen shares stories of her family, fishing and living in Bre. The interweaving stories of Jenny and Grace, Lily and Noeleen go to the heart of one of the most important relationships in our lives - that with our mother. Inherent in their stories is Australia's history of the Stolen Generation and the impact this has had on families and communities. But the focus of Bre and Back is on the strength of these four inspiring women, and their stories of wisdom and resilience, love and forgiveness.

Glenda Kerinuaia (from Bathurst Island) chooses to self-administer Peritoneal Dialysis so that she can participate in the cultural and family life of Tiwi Island. Essie Coffey OAM (from Brewarrina) speaks poignantly of the hardship associated with Haemodialysis. Essie tells us of her cultural dilemma in receiving a kidney transplant. Eventually with her weakened immune system, the common cold claimed her life. Renal physicians tell us what it means for Indigenous Australians living with debilitating renal disease in remote and rural communities.
