About
The battle for the Franklin River was one of the most significant environmental wins in Australia’s history. This documentary follows Oliver Cassidy as he retraces the steps of his eco-activist father to the site of the river blockade that was pivotal in saving this pristine wilderness. More than a dangerous rafting trip through the stunning Tasmanian wilds, this moving documentary is a connection between departed father and son as well as an honouring of this unique landscape.
Franklin 2022 which heads down the breath-taking Franklin River in to tell the story about the possibility for community-lead change in the face of what seemed an unstoppable commercial force – the proposed damming of Tasmania’s last wild river.
