In 2007 the NSW government suddenly scrapped a plan to utilise the water in the disused underground train tunnels beneath Sydney's St James Train Station.
In 2008, chasing rumours of a government coverup and urban legends surrounding the sudden backflip, investigative journalist Natasha Warner led a crew of four into the underground labyrinth.
They went down into the tunnels looking for a story – until the story found them. This is the film of their harrowing ordeal.
The filmmakers are currently selling individual frames of their soon-to-be-released BitTorrent film at $1 per frame, while one investor has the chance to pick up 1 per cent of any profit the film generates.
The Tunnel aims to raise its $135,000 cash budget by selling its 135,000 frames – the equivalent of a 90-minute movie. Currently only 13,485 frames have been sold.
