INTRODUCING — Saving The Franklin

Australia's biggest-ever environmental battle was over a wild
river in a remote part of Tasmania: the Franklin. Protesters
flooded in from all over Australia to stop the Franklin River
from being dammed for hydropower. They stood in front of
bulldozers and were jailed for it. But for lots of locals, the
dam represented a job opportunity at a time of economic crisis.
This fight tore apart communities and captured the attention of
the nation.


Today, more people are concerned about the planet than ever
before…so in a fight for the environment, this season of Dig
investigates: What does it take to win?
