‘The Power of Activism’ educational impact strategy

The question for us as filmmakers is ” How do we switch people on ? especially those that aren’t listening ! ” How do we engage and inspire people to Get Involved !
All of the environmental issues we are now facing are connected under the umbrella of climate change. The impact these issues are having on the health and wellbeing of the natural world environment and on our physical, emotional and mental health and wellbeing is intrinsically interconnected.
There is an urgent need to engage and inspire people to become aware, care and thus want to do all they can to help make a difference.
The economic angle of putting a dollar value on ‘actions and solutions’ speaks to everyone ; from policy makers and decision makers to households and everyone in between.
The solutions are there, we just need to choose to legislate, enforce, implement and USE them ! The economic cost of inaction is enormous.

A call to Action ; to engage and inspire people of all ages nationally and globally from all around the world to want to ‘ Get Involved ‘ to do what they can in their own lives and communities to help make a difference.

Audience feedback is that everybody needs to see this film.
Through festivals, broadcast, streaming, online access and as an educational resource we aim to reach as wide an audience as we possibly can nationally and globally.

I am very active in my own community and region as outlined in my bio.
The film has been highly successful on the International Film Festival circuit, winning the Melbourne Documentary Film Festival 2022 for “Best Australian Documentary”. The film was also 1 of only 6 films selected worldwide to be part of the International Ocean Film Festival Tour of Europe 2023.
Through our educational impact strategy proposal (funding offered by Shark Island Foundation) we target a diverse range of schools from across the country.
Key teachers will be recruited to drive projects in their school communities via Sciences, Economics, Media Arts, Humanities curriculum.
Completed projects/case studies will go onto film website as an educational resource for schools and universities to access.
Focus is to promote/market through teacher networks, conferences etc.
Our film is broadcasting exclusively with SBS through until 2026 so potential is there to house it on SBS Learn as well other key platforms.

We aim to inform, engage and inspire audiences to ‘ Get Involved ‘ through one or more of the initiatives the women Lead and in through their own community, government, school, business, household. Every single one of us can help make a difference. Think globally act locally !
