takayna - Patagonia Melbourne screening & talk evening

What if running could save a rainforest?

Released in 2018, takayna is a film produced by Patagonia, documenting the threat, devastation and importance of saving takayna / Tarkine.

Patagonia has joined forces with the Bob Brown Foundation, trail runners and the Tasmanian Aboriginal community to raise awareness and gain global support in nominating takayna / Tarkine as a World Heritage area.

Told through the eyes of a rural doctor, who runs ultramarathon distances deep into the forest to scout logging operations, this documentary unpacks the complexities of modern conservation and challenges us to consider the importance of our last truly wild places.

This year, Patagonia will once again partner with the Bob Brown Foundation for the takayna Ultra 2020. We welcome all runners to attend this evening to learn more about the event and the protection of takayna / Tarkine.
