A new documentary by independent WA filmmaker Jane Hammond brings into sharp focus the ongoing fight to save the remote ocean sanctuary of Scott Reef, almost 300 kilometres off the northwest coast of Western Australia.
Corals’ Last Stand follows a dozen marine scientists, conservationists and artists including Australia’s favourite novelist Tim Winton and iconic musician John Butler as they voyage off the West Australian coast to Scott Reef, one of Australia’s most significant and biodiverse coral reefs, to document the threats posed by Woodside’s Browse gas proposal. Woodside want to drill for gas and oil under the reef ecosystem and have been given approval by the Federal Government. There will be discussion about actions our community can take and food and drink available after the showing.
