Second screening of Poisoning Paradise

Another on-island screening of 'Poisoning Paradise' was attended by 60 island residents. The documentary systematically presented first-hand accounts and interviews with critical scientists who questioned the wide-scale use of 1080 poison with aerial spraying. Shocking images of animal corpses emphasised this point graphically. The screening was followed by a question and answer session with the film makers themselves.

See video from the event, links to TV news reports and the original documentary here.
