Ballina Council invites you to celebrate Plastic Free July and whale watching season with a free community screening of the documentary BLUE.

BLUE was directed and produced by the Aussie crew at Northern Pictures, and shot in the waters around Australia, Indonesia, the Philippines and Hawaii. BLUE tells the ocean’s story through seven Ocean Guardians, every-day people who are passionate about saving the ocean and are doing something about it. BLUE takes us deeper into the critical issues facing our oceans due to pollution, overfishing and other human activities, but moves us to act rather than despair. This confronting, breath-taking and inspiring film is not to be missed.

Doors open at 6:45 with the film starting at 7. Running time is 75 minutes, but stick around for a short discussion after the viewing. This is an all ages event.

Remember: This is a plastic free event! Plastic free snacks will be provided, but feel free to bring your own. Water refilling stations are available so bring your own reusable water bottle rather than a plastic one.
