Coming to Nelson on Sunday the 20th Jan, the Nelson Premiere of 'Stuck on a Rock'. A new short documentary (32mins) by filmmaker Asher Flatt, about adventuring into the unknown, extinction, conservation and our fragile connections with nature. This gripping story is centred on the Lord Howe Island phasmid (giant stick insect), a species that managed to cling onto existence in one of the most unlikely spots imaginable. It is told with creativity and humour by those whose passion and dedication have saved the species from extinction, including adventurer Dick Smith who climbed Ball’s Pyramid in 1964 with an intrepid band of scouts.

This event is taking place at the Suter Art Gallery and Theatre at1:30pm, followed by a Q&A with the filmmaker.
