The whole community is invited to come along to this screening and find out more about this important issue that affects all Australians.
Queensland-born actor, Michael Caton features in the 30-minute documentary that shines a spotlight on the battle to stop the biggest coal mine in Australian history, Adani’s Carmichael project.
The award-winning documentary team captures the raw beauty of the Queensland outback, where Adani’s mine threatens essential water resources.
Just downstream from the proposed mine site, a grazier fears for the impact on the river that quenches the thirst of his cattle, and flows through to the Coral Sea.
On the coast, a boat owner operating out of the Airlie Beach tourist hotspot worries about the hundreds of extra ships steaming through the Great Barrier Reef each year.
“We’re hosting this screening because we are worried about the enormous impacts of coal mining on the environment, the community, the climate and the future,” the groups say. “We don’t want to see our governments give Adani a $1 billion taxpayer funded loan for this destructive coal mine.”
After the film, there will be an update on the Rocky Hill open cut coal mine proposal.
