in the Name of the Kimberley

We, the Earth Soldiers, who burned down WUM’s headquarters, have a short message to deliver to all the environmentalists who support non-violent action: You have ten years. After that it will be our turn to act. Helen knows who the Earth Soldiers are. She was an environmentalist. She couldn’t stand the failure of the environmental movement to save our planet. First, she became an eco-terrorist, then she ended up supporting a mining project in the Kimberley. Now, she is somewhere in the middle of the Kimberley, one of the remotest regions of Australia. She is alone, with no transport, far from everything. She is digging to bury her memoirs, the document that tells the story of life. The complicated and inconvenient truth about her life is all here, in her memoirs. Helen isn’t digging to hide them. On the contrary, she is digging to make sure they will be found. Helen will never come back, but the story of her life will.
