In Murky Waters (3CR)

3CR's Megan Williams returns to the infamous site of the
Menindee fish kills and the drying Murray-Darling basin.


Supervising production from Richard Dinnen. Training from the
Community Media Training Organisation. Distributed by the
Community Radio Network.


Produced for the 2020 CBAA National Features and Documentary
Series.


In January 2019, millions of native fish perished in a mass fish
kills that made headlines around the globe.


The demise of the Darling-Barka River is one of the greatest
man-made disasters in Australia’s history, but little has changed
since this disaster rocked the little town of Menindee.


In Murky Waters is an exploration of how river management has
gone up the creek in the past 100 years. It zeros in on the shock
of the 2019 Menindee fish kill.
