Growing up isn’t easy, especially for Zach who is rapidly making the transition from boyhood to manhood,in both the modern world and his ancient culture. Pressures from his loving, but staunch father, the temptations of city life and the ever present spectre of racism all take their toll. Ultimately Zach must embrace the traditions and knowledge of his ancestors and awaken the warrior within.

Critic Reviews:

• “Personal, intimate and specific… also broad, urgent and vital, painting a portrait of what it means to be a young indigenous Australian.” – ArtsHub

• “A touching time capsule of a film.” – 3AW

• “This is all great, resonant subject matter, and Zach's Ceremony is absorbing despite its lapses into syrupy lyricism and a certain lack of shape.” – The Age (Australia)
