A 9-minute documentary featuring Paul Joseph looking back 40 years and summarizing the legacy of the Aquarius Festival.
This film project was created by independent filmmakers Mike New (producer/direcor) and Amon Woulfe (producer/editor) for the ABC.
Mike and Amon made this film without a budget to air on the ABC the weekend of May 23/24, 2013, as part of the ABC's mentoring program.
The message is surprisingly powerful and comprehensive for such a short piece.....
Special thanks to PAUL JOSEPH
Made with the assistance of ABC Open North Coast Producer: CATHERINE MARCINIAK
