Join us for the Kabi Kabi & Jinibara Country / Sunshine Coast screening of Rising Tide’s new short film, Taking the Channel: the extraordinary tale of the biggest, boldest, most disruptive People’s Blockade yet, cohosted with Upskilling Sustainability Sunshine Coast and the UniSC Ecological Society. 

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.
