Caroline Baum in conversation with writer Anna Krien about her 2010 book, Into the Woods. For many years, the Tasmanian wilderness has been the site of a fierce struggle. At stake is the future of old-growth forests. Loggers and police face off with protesters deep in the forest, while savage political games are played in the courts and parliaments. In Into the Woods, Krien ventures behind the battle lines to see what it is like to risk everything for a cause.
