Fighting Giants
Friday, 19 May, 2023 @ 6:00 PM – 7:00 PM
Premiere Screening on Wadandi Boodja, Margaret River HEART
19 May, 6-7.30 pm
FREE (spaces are limited)
Join this Margaret River Premiere screening of the new film ‘Fighting Giants’ on Wadandi Country. Friday 19 May, 6-7:30 pm at the Margaret River HEART.
The Kimberley has some of the largest intact natural landscapes left in the world. It is also a culturally rich region, home to a living Aboriginal culture that is many tens of thousands of years old, where Traditional Owners have a deep connection to Country.
But, fracking companies are the closest they’ve ever been to turning the region into an industrial wasteland. So we teamed up with Kimberley Traditional Owners, climate scientists and economists from The Australia Institute to produce this new film.
Fighting Giants is a rallying call to defend so many things that West Australians value: the stunning, intact landscapes of the Kimberley, our fragile climate, and Aboriginal land and culture.
Join us for this FREE screening of this powerful new film. You’ll also hear from Simone van Hattem from Lock the Gate Alliance on the ways you can support the Frack Free Kimberley campaign (an alliance with Broome-based Environs Kimberley and Traditional Owners). You’ll also have the opportunity then and there to write a short, impactful letter to a key state government politician, to express your concerns about fracking.
The event is completely free but spaces are limited so please reserve your seat below today.
This event is open to everyone, whether you’re new to the issue or have supported the campaign for a while. So bring a friend or get a group together for a night of inspiration, motivation and community grassroots change.
Doors open 5.30pm. Film commences at 6pm. The film screening will be followed by tea, coffee and letter writing in the bar area.
Free event. Bookings essential.
