Environment Events in Launceston

Join us in Launceston on 13 February for a community screening of ‘The Giants’. The Giants explore the intertwined fates of trees and humans in a poetic portrait of environmentalist Bob Brown and the forest. From a seedling to forest elder: the film is a masterclass that draws on Bob’s 50 years of inspiring activism, from the Franklin campaign for Tasmania’s last wild river, to today’s battle for the Tarkine rainforest. Told in Bob’s own words, his story is interwoven with the extraordinary life cycle of Australia’s giant trees, brought to the screen with stunning award-winning cinematography and immersive animated forest landscapes.
