MINE-FIELD

Filmed over 3-years this controversial documentary exposes the devastating impact of mining on four Victorian rural communities.

Mine-Field exposes the strategies and methods used by mining companies to divide rural communities and get control of their land. It shows how mines are never rehabilitated and little of the wealth extracted goes to the community. It exposes corruption and incompetence within the state’s mining department regulator, and shows how regulations and laws are being ignored for benefit of the miners. While showing how Victoria’s weak mining regulations and environmental laws are the direct result of the powerful mining industry lobby.

Mine-Field was produced by Barking Media and directed by Peter Vaughan with assistance from the Environmental Media Foundation inc and rural communities across Victoria.
