Sydney Film Festival award winning documentary Floodland captures the 2022 Lismore floods through the eyes of the residents who lived through them.
It moves beyond the news cycle to highlight the First Nations healing practices and community-led solutions that are vital for Australia’s future.
Laurieton United Services Club (LUSC) and Lyne Together are hosting a special event screening followed by an expert panel discussion to highlight ways to minimise risk during a local emergency. The panel experts include local representatives from Health, Local Government and the SES.
This is a story about strength and resilience, the ability of communities to pull together in the face of disaster, and the urgent conversations being prompted by the reality of our changing climate. The events of the Lismore floods are an opportunity for our regional community to learn about disaster resilience in the face of droughts and bushfires; an invitation to pull together and bounce back in the face of hardship.
