FROM AUSTRALIA TO ARRETON! - FIND OUT FIRST HAND HOW A COMMUNITY OPPOSED AND DEFEATED THE FOSSIL FUEL INDUSTRY.

Film makers from Australia have begun a tour involving over 30 events in 5 weeks to bring a message of hope to the UK. The Isle of Wight screening is the final event in this tour.

Filmed over five years, The Bentley Effect documents the highs and lows of the battle to keep a unique part of Australia gasfield-free.

This story of a community’s heroic stand shows how strategic direct action and peaceful protest from a committed community can overcome industrial might and political short-sightedness.

“This film is incredibly timely and offers audiences a hearty dose of hope and inspiration in these uncertain times. It is a highly entertaining ride following a successful social movement and will no doubt find an appreciative audience in the UK” said film director and producer Brendan Shoebridge.

“Gas mining may be the vehicle but this film is really about what a united community can achieve when it stands together.”

Doors open from 5.30pm, refreshments will be available. Film screening 6.30pm - 8pm followed by Q&As led by Simon Clough - National Chair Lock The Gate Alliance.

Tickets are free but seats are limited so please book in advance. Voluntary donations welcomed.

PLEASE BE AWARE There is a scam website on you tube and Facebook purporting to allow you to download the full movie in return for credit card details.

The Bentley Effect is NOT on general release and the full movie can NOT be seen anywhere except the venues on the official UK Tour list.

So don't miss it!
