Synopsis
Once a close-knit indigenous community with good housing and harmonious streets; now a renowned site of escalating tension with police and deteriorating houses on the brink of demolition, 'The Block' in Sydney is revealed through the eyes of Auntie Barb and the life of her blue heeler dog, Wanja. Known to all for her ability to sniff out the police - in uniform and undercover - Wanja is The Block's guardian angel.
