Nearly 10 years in the making, the epic battle to save Tasmania’s wild Franklin River is flowing into cinemas!FRANKLIN, a new documentary to be released in Australian cinemas this week, celebrates the 40-year anniversary of Australia’s most significant environmental campaign, through the eyes of environmentalist Oliver Cassidy as he retraces his late father’s 14-day rafting expedition to attend the Franklin River blockade. Spectacularly shot in 4K against a backdrop of glorious natural beauty, the film features never-before-seen archival footage and interviews with key players such as Bob Brown and Tasmanian Aboriginal elder Uncle Jim Everett. The film is an inspiring example of the power of peaceful protest to bring about lasting change.
FRANKLIN is directed and co-written by Kasimir Burgess (The Leunig Fragments), co-written by Claire Smith and produced by Chris Kamen. It is presented by Screen Australia in association with ScreenTasmania, the Melbourne International Film Festival, Film Victoria and 791 crowdfunding supporters.
