Franklin background

Franklin

A heart-pumping solo rafting journey unfolds amidst a tense environmental struggle to preserve the pristine Franklin River in 1980s Australia, as a hydroelectric dam project looms large.

The film tells the story of a pivotal environmental protest, where the Wilderness Society fought to save Tasmania's Franklin River from being dammed by the Hydro-Electric Commission. The story is told through the eyes of Oliver Cassidy, who reenacts his father's 40-year-old journey down the World Heritage-listed river.
