Many in OREN suffered violence, incarceration, financial loss yet won their campaign using a decentralised, regionally focused activist strategy. The film explores both the external and internal conflicts OREN faced, the highs and the lows and the unrelenting devotion of those involved, from activists living in trees to Melbourne business people. OREN still attracts attention as a case study to inspire similar campaigns around the world. Written by Tatiana Doroshenko/Simon Birrell See less
