The Motueka Community Film Circle is excited to share with you its next movie: A Line in the Sandstone.

This film takes us deep into the Denniston Plateau, one of Aotearoa’s extraordinary and fragile landscapes. Home to dwarf native forests, rare lizards and snails found nowhere else on Earth, Denniston is a refuge for species and ecosystems unique to the South Island.

This is a cinematically stunning film that showcases the raw beauty of Denniston Plateau. The film follows a colourful group of climbers, highliners and activists on a bold mission to promote and protect this remote, harsh West Coast landscape. Australian coal mining company Bathurst Resources has applied to extract millions of tonnes of coal on Denniston Plateau, mostly for export. Against this backdrop, the film asks a powerful question: what are we willing to do to defend places that cannot be replaced?

That's one of the questions we'll address in the short community discussion following this movie.
