Laurent Boissel and Emmanuelle Guilbart, joint CEOs and co-founders of international distributor APC Studios (aka About Premium Content), said: "-'Fallout' [now 'Operation Buffalo'] is a perfect example of the kind of drama we are committed to supporting, a locally grounded story which tackles universal themes and complex characters we know will resonate globally."
This Australian television mini-series was filmed in consultation with the local indigenous Maralinga Tjarutja communities living on the Maralinga Tjarutja Lands in far western South Australia, Australia. The key consultants were advisers and translators Gavin Peel and Dennis Brown and Indigenous Cultural Consultant Dr. Jared Thomas.
The indigenous Aboriginal characters of the Maralinga Tjarutja Lands speak in their local dialect in this Australian television mini-series with the language subtitled with English subtitles. These dialects are the Aboriginal languages of Pitjantjatjara and Yankunytjatjara which are both native to the Maralinga Tjarutja Lands region of far west South Australia.
