Hi everyone..

We have just returned from Leonora where we did the first screening of Walking for Country. We had a great turn out and everyone was excited to see the film..

Now that we have shown it to the community in Leonora we are looking at film festivals both in Australia and Internationally to screen Walking for Country.

The first International screening will happen during the last week of May as we have just heard that Walking for Country has been excepted into the International Uranium Film Festival in Brazil.
 

The Parnngurr Community was set up in the 1980’s during the homelands movement, as a protest camp against uranium exploration. The community here and other Martu communities are now faced with the renewed threat of uranium mining by Cameco and Mitsubishi. The community has called for a walk from their community to the proposed uranium mine through the stunning Karlamilyi National Park.

Funds raised will go to support Martu joining the walk from surrounding communities. Donations are tax deductible.
