Mame Du Bois, Smokescreen (PEOPLE 2025)

Portrait of just-turned 18-year-old Will who is coming of age in a large regional Australian town. Will has endured much more than anyone his age should endure after losing his older and only brother two years ago. He is now facing his own journey into adulthood. While there is much hope and joyous milestones ahead, uncertainty swirls around us all creating a smokescreen that obscures the path forward.
