Documentary Short – Moving Mountains – People Power In Action

People.

The Kerry Blockade was a catalyst. Possibly for the first time in Australian history traditional enemies, farmers and greenies, realized they shared common ground in their desire to protect land air and water. They stood shoulder to shoulder and the community of the Scenic Rim was joined by community from many other areas under threat.

Those who protested at Kerry shared a deeply held belief in the right of the people to peacefully protest to protect environmental and social values. People travelled from NSW, many from the Northern Rivers region, from the Southern and Western Downs, Brisbane and the Gold Coast. This cross community support in January 2012 saw deep relationships forged between individuals and other communities during that 10 day campaign, relationships that endure to today.
