Join us for the Magaddjin / Brisbane screening of Rising Tide’s new short film, Taking the Channel: the extraordinary tale of the biggest, boldest, most disruptive People’s Blockade yet. 

With epic footage and powerful storytellers, this is the story of how thousands of everyday people go up against the multi-billion dollar coal industry in a powerful act of defiance.

A 17-year-old who will do anything to defend her future. A coal worker who knows the industry he works for is burning the planet. A climate scientist warning of a frightening trajectory. And a law-abiding grandmother finding courage to fight for future generations.

They come together at the world’s largest coal port for a courageous attempt to change the course of history.

Doors open at 6 pm for a light dinner followed by a short special discussion led by Linda Selvey on the impacts of Climate Change on First Nations People on Warumunga country in Tennant creek.

Linda will be joined by
- Jimmy Frank Jupurrurla, Warumungu Emerging leader, Chief Cultural Officer and Chair of Wilya Janta
- Katrina Williams, Emerging CEO of Wilya Janta with Warumunga, Warlmanpa and Warlpiri heritage.
- Dr Simon Quilty, General Physician and Chief Operating Officer of Wilya Janta

Following this we will show the film.
