Filmmaker Phoebe Wolfe's short film The Overthrow tells the story of two friends, Cleo (Annabel Wolfe) and Iris (Miah Madden), who head out in the heat of summer to rollerskate from Sydney to Parliament House in Canberra to protest for more action on climate change. The two set off with the best of intentions, spreading awareness via social media with #Skate4Climate, but as the journey carries on, tensions erupt between the two, with Cleo questioning Iris' dedication to action on climate change.

The Overthrow is a superb short film that is screening at Flickerfest 2023. In this interview, Phoebe talks about where the idea for the short came from, how working with her sister Annabel went, and the casting of Miah Madden, while also touching on how they managed to film outside Parliament House.
