Directed by Bill Code, the 2022 documentary The Lake of Scars highlights the realities and politics of conservation and protection for the largest collection of beautiful, mysterious ‘scar’ trees in the world, at Lake Boort in a remote corner of Australia.

Produced over six years, the film features the late activist and iconic Australian actor Uncle Jack Charles, and showcases the work and passion of historian Paul Haw.  Haw’s close relationship with the Yung Balug clan of the Dja Dja Wurrung Aboriginal people conserves the scar trees, in a uniquely admirable story of allyship, environmentalism and cultural rebirth, that also serves as a blueprint for what reconciliation between white and black Australians might look like.

Showcasing the astounding natural beauty and archaeological significance of rural Lake Boort, The Lake of Scars is supported by the Victorian Aboriginal Heritage Council.
