Run for Country, Sydney

Join us for a powerful documentary screening that tells the story of communities standing together to protect one of Australia’s most significant inland forests. In north-west NSW, farmers, First Nations leaders, nurses, nannas, runners and young activists are united against the Narrabri Gas Project, a proposal to industrialise the Pilliga with 850 coal seam gas wells.

This uplifting film celebrates community resilience, collaboration, and the power of collective action, showing how people from all walks of life can come together to defend land, water and culture.

The screening includes a live panel discussion with special guest speakers, offering insight, inspiration, and ways you can take action to support the cause. Be part of a movement to protect country and make a difference.
