Franklin - Official Trailer

Streaming now on ‪@DocPlay‬: https://www.docplay.com/shows/franklin

When Tasmania’s Hydro-Electric Commission planned to build a dam on the Franklin River, Launceston’s Wilderness Society mobilised to protect it, sparking a now-infamous, and ultimately victorious, campaign of blockades, protests, lawsuits and political wrangling – a campaign that was a key part of the development of the Australian Greens movement.

#Franklin recounts this seminal environmental protest through the eyes of #OliverCassidy, who retraces the journey on the World Heritage–listed river taken some 40 years before by his late activist father.
