Peace Crimes by Kieran Finnane tells the story of activism at the secret US spy base near Alice Springs. Six Peace Pilgrims trespassed on the grounds of Pine Gap in 2016, leading to a court case in 2017 where the activists were charged under terrorism laws and faced up to 7 years jail. Their quest was to save lives by stopping the function of Pine Gap for even a day, and to expose the horrors of Pine Gap’s role in illegal US wars, characterised by drone strikes and killing of civilians.
