What is it like to spend a night in a coal bucket, and why do people do it? 

Find out about direct action against extractive industries in this evening of short films and group discussion, hosted by Blockade Cinema for the Climate Action Festival. 

You’ll see new film footage of the Denniston Plateau protests alongside short films of direct actions across Australia. Blockade Cinema is an eight-year-old venture run by Aotearoa-born documentary filmmaker Crusty, who will guide discussion on the night and answer any burning questions you may have about direct action protests.
