They saved paradise... including the parking lot!
An inspirational story for our times, The Triangle Wars is the story of the battle being waged between local government, big business and the community over the development of a tiny sliver of crown land on the foreshore of St Kilda. A microcosm of a much bigger story about power, values, compromise and transparency, The Triangle Wars tells the story through three men at the heart of the conflict: an eccentric politician, a celebrity photographer and a high-powered property developer.
Combining a study of democracy in progress with a community’s impassioned struggle against an institutional behemoth, The Triangle Wars highlights the lengths the community will go when they believe their democratic rights are being eroded. It is a battle which will redefine a vital Australian community.

antics of local council governments and demonstrating how the power
of the people can prevail…’The Triangle Wars’ is a great watch!

An inspirational ‘David & Goliath’ story of our times…
…this is a very important film indeed, this is the film that shows that ‘people power’ still has some worth in modern society…
…you even find yourself barracking for the people of St Kilda in the same way you supported The Kerrigans in ‘The Castle’…this is a doco that every Australian must see

This film is a heartening display of the grass-roots democratic
process: if the people really really REALLY don’t want it, you
can’t force them to have it.

The Triangle Wars’ is a riveting exposition of sweeping social
issues and contemporary Australian politics…
