The Franklin campaign isn't just an environmental conservation story, it's also a story about Aboriginal heritage.
Tasmanian Palawa man, activist and lawyer Michael Mansell talks to Piia Wirsu about this chapter in history, his experience growing up in a white Tasmanian society, and why he saw many of the Franklin activists as racist.
