Unanswered Calls, Storytelling to inspire a movement
Venn produced this powerful documentary for Safe Steps in association with Minderoo Pictures
Venn was engaged by Safe Steps to produce a documentary film to raise awareness about the response and service gaps that exist for children and young people who experience or witness family and domestic violence.
Following Dr Chlesea Tobin’s Churchill Fellowship to explore how other countries are responding to this issue, we produced this film to inspire a national movement to address this problem.
The film is premiering in Melbourne at the Capitol Theatre to a full house on the 19th of February before embarking on a national roadshow to begin this important conversation and to attract support, so that we can address this gap in the system response.
