Where the Green Ants Dream (German: Wo die grünen Ameisen träumen) is a 1984 English-language West German film co-written and directed by Werner Herzog, made in Australia.

About Where the Green Ants Dream

The Australian Aborigines (in this film anyway) believe that this is the place where the green ants go to dream, and that if their dreams are disturbed, it will bring down disaster on us all. The Aborigines' belief is not shared by a giant mining company, which wants to tear open the soil and search for uranium.
