The Green Chain is a New Zealand film about sawmill worker Joe Harawira and his long battle to expose the impact that workplace toxins had on his community. After being afflicted by health issues in the 1980s, Harawira noticed co-workers getting sick. In 1988 Joe helped found SWAP (Sawmill Workers Against Poisons) and began investigating the effects of exposure to dioxins and efforts to clean up the site. Dioxin is the toxic chemical which still contaminates the 102 and 100 McBryde St Fawkner sites.
Toxic Free Fawkner needs to raise money for our VCAT case where we hope to get the toxic site at 102 McBryde St cleaned up.
