by | 2 May 2017 | Event | 2 comments

1pm Thursday 4 May — Oralla Lecture Theatre, University of New England — Give Trees a Chance, 1980 (47 minutes)

This 1980 documentary tells the story of the first eco-blockade in the world – the Terania Creek forest protest in Australia in 1979. A historic event, it brought rainforest preservation into public consciousness and led to the formation of the Nightcap National Park. Narrated by Jack Thompson. This screening is followed by a discussion led by Dr Vanessa Bible, a lead researcher into non-violent activism and the Terania Creek blockade.
