The Giants film screening Taree
Event description
From the makers of FREEMAN (ABC, 2020), THE GIANTS explores the intertwined fates of trees and humans in this cinematic portrait of environmental folk hero and gay icon Bob Brown who took green politics to the centre of power. From a seedling to forest elder: the film is a masterclass that draws on Bob’s 50 years of inspiring activism, from the Franklin campaign for Tasmania’s last wild river, to today’s battle for the Tarkine rainforest. Told in Bob’s own words, his story is interwoven with the extraordinary life cycle of Australia’s giant trees, brought to the screen with stunning cinematography and immersive animated forest landscapes.
From 1pm - 1.30pm we will have drink and nibbles in the foyer. (gold coin donation) as well as a stall with some of our merchandise and a raffle. Every ticket gets a free raffle ticket.
The film starts at 1.30 and runs for almost 2 hours.
Following the film we will draw the raffle and there will be a brief update on what is happening in our local forests as well as an opportunity to talk to some of the local forest activists.
