The academy-award nominated director of documentaries, including Frontline, Chile - Hasta Cuando and Nicaragua - No Pasaran, is again on the political frontline with his chilling expose on US weapons testing in Australia - particularly at Shoalwater Bay in Queensland. Bradbury also examines the US military's use of depleted uranium in Iraq. Depleted Uranium has a radioactive half-life of more than 4 billion years. The film asks: If Iraqi babies are now being born with major birth defects, will Australians living downwind from the testing ranges be next? Bradbury meets and interviews a family from Shoalwater Bay whose fourth child was born with multiple genetic defects.

If you missed the screening at this year's Sydney Film Festival, this is an exclusive chance to see Blowin in the Wind and to ask questions of David about how he has self funded this doco "without a cent of  public money" and the issues that raises.

Bradbury does not pretend to have all the answers but his compelling film raises a blizzard of questions what should stimulate a fiery debate. Lynden Barber, Sydney Film Festival.

David Bradbury - Bio

Over the last 25 years David Bradbury has earned an international reputation as a filmmaker willing to go to extraordinary lengths for a cause, exposing political oppression and environmental vandalism to public scrutiny. Bradbury's films have received accolades from the most respected institutions in the filmmaking community, including the Academy Awards and our own AFI awards.

Bradbury's documentaries, such as 'Chile: Hasta Cuando?' and 'Nicaragua: No Pasaran' need no introduction and are perfect examples of the influence of the documentary for change, in some cases with powerful results: Bradbury's Shoalwater: Up for Grabs was instrumental in stopping sandmining going ahead in the largest untouched area of wilderness on the east coast of Australia, south of Cooktown. The Federal Government and Prime Minister Paul Keating moved to protect the area three weeks after the film was aired on the national Seven Network.

This is a unique not-to-be-missed opportunity to meet one of Australia's most authoritative and commanding documentary filmmakers.
