Paradise Earth

Coming home to Tasman Peninsula, approaching the 25th anniversary of the 1996 Port Arthur massacre, Ruth journeys into psychic trauma. When her brother helps his fourteen-year-old son apply for a firearms permit, they risk repeating the past, forgotten too soon.

A Port Arthur massacre survivor, Marina has returned to the Peninsula with her brother to pack up Doo-No-Harm, the family holiday home, after their mother's death. In a convoy of duck rescuers, the siblings head for a confrontation with shooters on the wetland. These are lives choreographed by trauma, damage and the ramifications of wilful forgetfulness.
