Regenerating Australia in cinemas now

Damon Gameau produced a documentary a few years ago called 2040. His new documentary is called Regenerating Australia and is now in cinemas. This is a 17 minute film which takes the form of a news bulletin looking back over the decade on what action could have been taken to reduce climate change. It was based on a four month campaign talking to people about their hopes and dreams for the future. We hope to have a showing of this film in May at SCEGGS.
