Troublemaker

While audiences are familiar with the tragedy of the Port Arthur Massacre, Troublemaker provides an unexplored story and new perspective. 25 years on, this story holds a magnifying glass up to our current culture, particularly around how we as a nation deal (or don’t deal) with tragedy and how questions thrive post events.

We will ask the big questions about why as Australians we still find tragedies such as the Port Arthur Massacre a taboo subject to talk about and why it is difficult as a nation to address our troubled past and how we approach trauma and healing.

Troublemaker will create a mind-shift in how we as a society deal with trauma and how we can do things better to promote healing on and individual and national scale.

FOCUS AREA: Community Outreach
The Troublemaker impact campaign will inspire individuals and the broader Australian community to understand that testimony, reflection and acknowledgment of traumatic events is essential for individual and national healing.
– We will do this by engaging with mental health groups specialising in trauma and healing to utilise the film for community screenings and workshops.

FOCUS AREA: Education
The Troublemaker impact campaign will inform and educate high school students to understand and critically evaluate significant traumatic historical events.
-We will do this by creating education materials, made in collaboration with experts, to inspire critical thinking in regards to conspiracy theories.

We are in early development and in discussions with numerous partners about collaborating further on the series.
