Join Rising Tide for the Brisbane/Magandjun premiere of their new short film, Taking the Channel: the extraordinary tale of the biggest, boldest, most disruptive People’s Blockade yet. 

With epic footage and powerful storytellers, this is the story of how thousands of everyday people go up against the multi-billion dollar coal industry in a powerful act of defiance.

A 17-year-old who will do anything to defend her future. A coal worker who knows the industry he works for is burning the planet. A climate scientist warning of a frightening trajectory. And a law-abiding grandmother finding courage to fight for future generations.

They come together at the world’s largest coal port for a courageous attempt to change the course of history.

Doors open at 6 pm for a light dinner followed by the screening.  After the film hear from a live panel who were there amongst it all and find out how you can get involved to be part of Rising Tide’s ambitious plans to dial up the fight.

NOTE: this is a third party event being held at Food Connect Shed. We’ll do our best to help but any questions are best directed to the organisers.
