Hi Steve, Fracking the Kimberley would have an immense impact on this beautiful region and threaten its precious groundwater and threatened species – it’s a terrible idea. But one Texan company is edging dangerously close to being approved. Join us at this community screening of ‘Fighting Giants’ – the documentary that takes you to the heart of the Kimberley to show just what’s at stake from fracking and the inspiring movement taking action to protect it – Wed 24 June at 7:00 pm.We teamed up with Kimberley Traditional Owners, Environs Kimberey, scientists and economists to produce this film. It’s a rallying call to defend so many things that West Australians value. Get your free ticket and watch the Fighting Giants trailerYou’ll be joined by passionate, like-minded locals who want to take action to protect the Kimberley. We’ll also share a short feature with Kimberley Traditional Custodians.WHAT: Fracking documentary screening “Fighting Giants” WHEN: Wednesday 24 June, 7 pm – 8 pm (doors from 6.30 pm, come make a cuppa and grab some snacks – all provided!)
