Film premiere Coal Creek: “What does it take to stop a coal mine polluting our waterways?” – Sutherland Shire screening
Hazelhurst Regional Gallery & Arts Centre 782 Kingsway, Gymea"Coal Creek” documents the tireless work of a large number of concerned citizens to shine a spotlight on the damage being done to the Royal National Park by a neighbouring mine.
Filmed on Dharawal Country in 2022, the story shows repeated pollution events by the neighbouring Metropolitan Coal Mine into Camp Gully Creek, which carries the pollution into the Hacking River, a major artery of the Royal National Park. To add to these concerns UNSW relocated a colony of Platypus into the river.
“Coal Creek” will have a limited run of premier screenings. This screening will be held at the Hazelhurst Gallery Theatre at Gymea on Sunday, 4 February. All welcome - but seating is limited, please be sure to rsvp!
