Event description

Voices of Mornington Peninsula is excited to invite you to an exclusive screening of BIG DEAL: Is our democracy for sale? Money in politics affects all of us - what does it mean for you, our community and our country?

On the back of War on Waste and Fight for Planet A, Craig Reucassel has partnered up with comedian Christiaan Van Vuuren to make the feature documentary Big Deal: Is ourdemocracy for sale?

For 48 hours from this Friday 17th to Sunday 19th you'll have access to watch the Big Deal in your favourite armchair at home (from Friday 17- Sunday 19 Sep) and then MC Tracee Hutchison will chat to director Craig Reucassel with special guests Zali Stegall (MP), and Eric Campbell ( ABC Foreign Correspondent)for a live Q&A discussion about the film and how we can restore integrity to politics.

This film is going to be a game changer. It’s really tough to find ways of reaching Australians who care about good democracy, but have become cynical. Craig and Christiaan have nailed it, asking hard questions about the way big industries, like guns and fossil fuels, influence our politicians.

The political analysis is hard-nosed and gripping, but it’s also a hilarious, heart-warming and ultimately hopeful story of people power. VMP is thrilled to be able to offer you an invitation to a screening followed by a Q&A event with Craig Reucassel.
