A film featuring Kristina Nehm, Ernie Dingo, Bob Maza and Justine Saunders. The Fringe Dwellers is a story of a teenager living in a shantytown with her extended family. A quietly ambitious girl, Trilby Comeaway persuades her mother to move into a prosperous white neighborhood somewhat beyond their means but to Trilby's dismay, the entire extended family moves with them. With the white locals freely expressing their distaste for the new neighbors and Trilby's relationship with boyfriend resulting in an unwanted pregnancy, things are not turning out how she imagined.
