About

Scott Reef, an ancient coral atoll 300km off the Australian mainland, is home to over 1,200 species, including endangered sea snakes, green turtles, and rare cetaceans that rely on its krill-rich waters.
However, this unique ecosystem is under threat as Woodside and its partners plan to drill 50 oil and gas wells in the surrounding waters, arguing the project will aid decarbonisation—an assertion conservationists strongly dispute. Corals’ Last Stand, a half-hour documentary featuring Tim Winton and John Butler, explores the potential destruction of Scott Reef and questions whether Australia can afford to risk such an irreplaceable environment for fossil fuel extraction.

This screening of Corals’ Last Stand is presented by Cultural Dissent and the Boorloo Activist Centre. The presentation of the film will be followed by a panel featuring film-maker Jane Hammond and activists involved in fighting for the environment in the Kimberley.
