Jean, This is a movie made from the book by the same name. It is the 1700 mile trek made by a young lady, from Alice Springs, Australia to the Indian Ocean in 1977. Mia Wasikowska is the main character and does a fine job. You see some amazing shots of the harsh landscape and learn a lot about camels. (She uses four camels she trains to make the trip as her carrier animals.) Nat'l Geographic Magazine helps with the trip and one of it's photographers is a dramatic character throughout the film. I found it a quite interesting travel film across a near desert land and the people who endure it's hardships. At the end, they role the credits and show you the actual people and animals portrayed in the film. (Some animals die but the real life circumstances are explained.)
