In an effort to get a delegation of First Peoples and activists to Sydney and Canberra to lobby politicians to save Wallum from being bulldozed, Save Wallum will be holding a film night on Sunday, May 5 at the Picture House in Brunswick Heads.
Co-organiser, Lisa Sandstrom, says the night starts with a short film by local activist and filmmaker, Adriano Pantaleo, which celebrates the Save Wallum campaign activities so far.

It will be followed by the new documentary for the Rising Tide campaign film The Final Wave.
A panel discussion with MC Ilona Harker will end the night, including activists from Saving Wallum and Rising Tide.
Sandstrom describes it as a ‘celebration of peaceful protest and civil disobedience’.
She says, ‘At the end of the hottest year in human history, a Rising Tide of everyday people shut down the world’s largest coal port for 32 hours’.
‘Here’s how we did it. Revisit the epic people’s blockade with footage from the beach, the water, and the sky – and hear from Rising Tide blockaders about how this historic event came together.’
Doors open at 5.30pm for 6pm start.
