In December 2016 over 150 permanent residents at the Wantirna Caravan Park were handed eviction notices and given a year to vacate. The Park (2019) explores the final eight months before the closure. This film de-centres narrative to provide a series of vignettes of life in the park as the residents collect petitions, write letters and hold roadside protests.
