We began filming this documentary at the beginning of 2011 and it has already taken us across three states. Beginning in Margaret River in WA I soon realised that the bigger issue was occuring in QLD, particularly in the Tara-Chinchilla region and in NSW, across the state. The story is being told through the eyes of Dayne The Frackman Pratzky. We have also been following sub plot character stories with Drew Hutton, Jeremy Buckingham, Dr Marian LLoyd Smith, Bob Irwin, Barnaby Joyce and last week I also filmed Alan Jones at an inspirational gathering in Bowral.

Screenwest  and Screen Australia have invested in the documentary at Research and development phase but we are well into production now and have had several meetings with the ABC re commissioning. We plan to cut a documentary hour for TV and a feature length documentary for the international film festival circuit and potentially for a cinema release. It’s a fascinating tale and gaining momentum by the day and seems to be shaping up to be the biggest environmental debate of the decade.
