- **Event Name**: The Bentley Effect - London screening & Q&A (May)
- **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 11 May, 2017 at 06:00 pm
- **Event Description**: The School of Advanced Study's Extreme Energy Initiative is proud to screen the first London screening of The Bentley Effect at the University of London.

This film is a timely story of a community’s heroic stand against unconventional gas, which shows how strategic direct action and peaceful protest from a committed community can overcome industrial might and political short-sightedness.

When the coal seam gas industry staked a claim on the Northern Rivers shire of Australia, alarm bells rang out. A critical mass of people from all walks of life – farmers, landowners, parents, activists, scientists – organised themselves to rally against the unconventional gas invasion. Despite the enormous public opposition, the gas industry and the State Government were determined to see their gas plan through. A series of dramatic blockades ensued, before the final battle lines were drawn in the peaceful farming valley of Bentley. Thousands of people flocked to the site to stare down the threat of 850 riot police, ordered in to break up the protest. What happened next set an historic precedent.

Filmed over five years, The Bentley Effect documents the highs and lows of the battle to keep a unique part of Australia gasfield-free.

The screening at The University of London will be followed by a Q&A.
