Kia ora tatau,Join us for the premiere of the latest documentary from local Tākaka filmmaker Timothy Firkin, that weaves together the stories of a community deeply united in their aroha for — and commitment to protecting — the precious waters that nourish the valleys of Mohua.
There will be spoken word and live music woven into this offering and each of the films will be followed by a live Q&A.
Synopsis :
"One of the Southern Hemisphere’s most pristine waterways is now at risk. Beneath Sams Creek—Sams Awa to locals—lies arsenic-rich rock that an Australian gold mining company hopes to exploit for tiny traces of gold. This film captures a gathering of international water protectors who assembled at the river to voice a series of declarations, uniting the community’s resolve to safeguard Sams Awa and the interconnected waters of Mohua."
As a bonus we will also be screening the previous film "Sams creek : Fast-track to desecration" as a refresher on the details of the campaign and for those who are new to the kaupapa."
