From pizza shop to bora ground, here is a joyous celebration of food, dance and cultural understanding.


When three young boys go to a pizza parlour and meet an Aboriginal chef who can speak Italian and make a deadly pizza, they're in for a surprise!


*All you fellas watching, come up, join in, warrima.


Clap your hands, little ones.


Stamp your feet, nannas.


Get down and dance, you smart young things, mummas and daddas.


Let's get the whole town dancing!*
