Event Duration: 120 minutes

Presented by Queensland-born actor Michael Caton, Guarding the Galilee is a 30 minute documentary on the battle to stop the biggest coal mine in Australian history, Adani’s Carmichael Project.

The award-winning documentary team capture the raw beauty of Central Queensland, where Adani’s mine threatens essential water resources. Just downstream from the proposed mine, a grazier fears for the impact on the river that quenches the thirst of his cattle, and flows through to the Coral Sea. On the coast, a boat owner operating out of the Airlie beach tourist hotspot worries about the hundreds of extra ships steaming through the Great Barrier Reef each year. Meet these and many others engaged in this fight and find out exactly what mining billionaire Adani has planned for Australia.

Following the documentary, there will be a panel discussing current issues for the environmental movement and climate at large.

All funds from the screening will be going toward Seed and the Australian Youth Climate Coalition

A light dinner will be provided
