Scott Millwood’s “Whatever Happened to Brenda Hean?” will be screened on Thursday 25th February at 9:30pm on ABC1.

Whatever Happened to Brenda Hean? tells the remarkable story of Brenda Hean – one of the first leaders of an environmental political party – whose fight to save Tasmania’s Lake Pedder lead to her mysterious disappearance in 1972. Thirty-five years later, filmmaker Scott Millwood undertakes a quest to discover the truth, taking us on a journey into the landscape and eccentric communities of Tasmania, painting a portrait of an inspirational woman whose environmental values still resonate today.
“Totally engrossing, four stars” Margaret Pomeranz, At the Movies

“An insightful, often dark, but somehow heroic documentary…”  Helen Crompton, The Age

“A fascinating true-life thriller” Julie Rigg, Radio National

“Scott Millwood traces a history of violence perpetrated against Tasmania’s environment, and against the state’s green activists, that stretches back over decades. The importance of this work is in the way he shows how that history has a direct bearing on the island’s contemporary political culture.” Dan Edwards, New Matilda.
