Join us for the premiere of 'Skin Deep' and subsequent panel discussion with experts making unprecedented strides towards the protection of native crocodiles, discussing the urgent need for compassion in conservation and a just transition towards a wildlife-free future in fashion.

'Skin Deep' dives into the experience of Donny Imberlong, a Jaru man living on the traditional lands of the Miriwoong Gajerrong people in Kununurra, while working on a Darwin crocodile farm in 2017. It explores his strong connection with the species, and the inner struggles that came from working in an industry that relies on killing an animal that he loves so deeply for luxury fashion. Ultimately, the film shines a light on the current mindset behind conserving these apex predators and begs the question - can there be a better way?

The premiere will feature alongside a panel discussion with Donny Imberlong, Alix Livingstone from Defend the Wild, Emma Hakansson from Collective Fashion Justice, and Ben Pearson from World Animal Protection Australia. Complimentary drinks will be provided upon arrival, with the event set to feature a unique touch wall of innovative wildlife-friendly materials.

Tickets to this event are limited, so ensure you reserve your spot today.
