Battle on the Franklin is a cinematic, feature-length documentary about the seven-year campaign to save Tasmania’s World Heritage-listed Franklin River from being drowned by the construction of a huge hydroelectric dam in the early 1980s.
The film will follow the story of 8th generation Tasmanian, Oliver Cassidy as he follows in the activists’ footsteps and embarks on a solo rafting pilgrimage down the Franklin. In the process, he will retrace the extraordinary story of the campaign.
