Anna Krien, with Amanda Lohrey - 6pm Friday 17th September
For decades, the Tasmanian wilderness has been the site of a bigger struggle. Sawmillers and police face off with protesters deep in the forest, while political games are played in the courts and parliaments. At stake is the future of old-growth forests, of the logging industry - and of the people on both sides, deeply divided by years of suspicion.
