‘Mine-Field’ Documentary Screening + QnA

17/09/2022 @ 5:00 pm - 7:00 pm

$12
This engaging, highly informative film is a must-see for communities like Ballarat and Moorabool who are keen to understand the environmental and lifestyle implications of Victoria’s 21st-century mining boom.

Filmed over three years, ‘Mine-Field’ (2022) shows how a farming community in East Gippsland fought a ruthless mining company and won. It reveals the devastating impact mining has already had in Bendigo and other Victorian rural communities.

A Q&A session will follow featuring the documentary’s maker, Peter Vaughan and impacted East Gippsland farmer, John Hine.

Please note that this is a fundraiser event for the Australian Greens Victoria.
