LET THE RIVER FLOW - MND Movie Fundraiser by Pappa Sven and Avoca Beach Theatre

In celebration of International Women's Day, Pappa Sven is hosting the Norwegian film LET THE RIVER FLOW at the Avoca Beach Theatre on March 17 to raise money for Motor Neurone Disease NSW.

LET THE RIVER FLOW is based on true events that inspired a generation of young Norwegians. Writer/director Ole Giæver’s elegant, multi award-winning historical drama follows a young woman who is unintentionally drawn into a protest against a dam that may flood Indigenous Sámi land.

LET THE RIVER FLOW powerfully conveys the outrage that helped expose Norway’s dark history of oppression over its indigenous people as part of its ‘Norwegianisation’ assimilation policy, a turning point in the fight for Sami rights.
