"Tunnel Vision" Doco Screening: Friends of the Earth Fund Raiser

Feeling that nothing ever changes? That the alliance of government and big business is just too powerful? That ordinary people - no matter how well-intentioned - will never prevail? If so, I have the perfect antidote for you:

On Tuesday 4 February, between 6 - 8pm at the Loop Bar 23 Meyers Place Melbourne (near the corner of Spring and Bourke street), Friends of the Earth will be hosting a fundraiser for their Sustainable Cities transport campaign. (Tickets: claudia.gallois@foe.org.au 0448752656)

The transport campaigners are currently fighting to stop the building of the North East Link. They are simultaneously advocating for Melbourne Metro 2. So their choice of film couldn't have been better.

Ivan Hexter's multi award-winning "Tunnel Vision" is the story of the community that rose up in defiance of the proposed East West Link, which would have decimated inner-city Melbourne and beyond. After a three year battle people power triumphed and the project was dumped.  Click for the trailer:

I was part of that victorious campaign and will be joining Director Ivan Hexter on the panel after the film. So why not drop down to the great Loop Bar, grab a cocktail and then relax and enjoy a truly inspirational local film? I hope to see you there!
