What’s on—cinema Feral horses and Kosciuszko on film at Narooma Kinema on 17th November

A suspension of feral animal shoo ng is the latest chapter in the struggle over feral horses in Kosciuszko Na onal Park. The cull is intended to protect the park by reducing feral horse numbers to 3,000. At last count in 2020 there were 14,000 feral horses in the park with that number increasing 20% each year. Whether the cull is making any headway will be seen in another count occurring before Christmas this year. The cull was secretly suspended by the NSW government in mid September in an apparent bid to placate Sydney shock jock Ray Hadley. ‘Although the suspension is the latest worry, feral horses in the park have long been a big concern,’ says film-maker Mandy King who explores the issues in her film Where the Water Starts. To make the film, King and her partner, Fabio Cavadini, teamed up with Indigenous and non-Indigenous community leaders who King says are really concerned about feral animals trampling and bogging up the fragile ecology of the headwaters of the Snowy, Murray and Murrumbidgee rivers which is also suffering climate change impacts. ‘Over genera ons, the landscape has been degraded to the point where 34 species of na ve plants and animals are now under threat. The high country has not evolved to handle hard hooved animals such as deer and especially feral horses,’ says King. Richard Swain, a Wiradjuri descendant raised in the high country and Indigenous Ambassador on the Invasive Species Council, is a strong, passionate voice in the film. ‘It's at pping point now, if you get the horses off and do a li le bit of remedia on, this will recover,’ hopes Swain. ‘Locals can learn more about this important na onal discussion and what the future holds at the screening of Where the Water Starts at the Narooma Kinema on 17th November,’ says King. Ted Rowley whose farm adjoins the Kosciuszko Na onal Park and Ngarigo custodian Aunty Rhonda Casey who is in the film will be on the Q&A panel a er the film.

What’s on—cinema Sca ered People: A song can take you home

Narooma Kinema on Thursday 10 November at 6.15pm. Hosted by the Refugee Ac on Collec ve Eurobodalla. This Australian documentary is about the healing power of music. It follows Saha and Mas, two Iranian musicians who are seeking asylum in Australia. While in immigra on deten on they meet the Sca ered People band, kindred spirits who play music and create songs with refugees and asylum seekers. Interviews and music from Archie Roach, Missy Higgins, John Butler, Michael Fran , Ka e Noonan, Dan Sultan, Robbie James and Baker Boy are included in the film. Sca ered People explores how music can help unite, heal and restore compassion for some of the most vulnerable people on our planet. The Sca ered People band made weekly visits to a deten on centre in Brisbane giving a crea ve space for some and a life saving experience for others. Detainees offer their poems, hear elt stories of courage and character, which the musicians turn into songs. The Refugee Ac on Collec ve Eurobodalla will show the film as a fundraiser for the Australian charity Cisarua Learning which supports refugee led schools in Indonesia and Malaysia. Stranded in Indonesia and denied work or educa on rights, refugees started their own school in Cisarua, a district in West Java. Cisarua Refugee Learning Centre is en rely run by volunteer refugees and teaches over 200 students aged between 5 and 65. Its approach has been followed by at least ten other refugee led schools. Since 2014 Cisarua Refugee Learning Centre has created a strong community around the school, giving hope and purpose to refugees, many of whom were extremely isolated and depressed. There are 14,000 refugees stranded in Indonesia and only a few are taken to safety each year by Australia and other countries. Australia should restart the process of taking refugees from countries in our South East Asian region. In recent years, Australia has only taken 50 or 60 people from Indonesia. We can do be er and work with our neighbours to find safety and permanent homes for people fleeing persecu on. Sca ered People will be shown at Narooma Kinema on Thursday 10 November at 6.15pm.
