NATIONAL CHILD PROTECTION WEEK, 5–11 SEPTEMBER 2010:
On 9 September at 9.30pm, don’t miss the national premiere on ABC1 TV of POLLY AND ME – a short fiction film that raises awareness about the complex issues of child abuse and neglect.
POLLY AND ME will be screened in an ABC TV Special, KIDS AT RISK, hosted by Geraldine Doogue and followed by a discussion with child abuse prevention experts, carers and child abuse survivors.
The film is part of a broader campaign our organisation is supporting to raise awareness about preventing child abuse, draw attention to prevention and early intervention strategies that work, and empower every Australian to play a part in protecting and nurturing vulnerable children in our midst.
POLLY AND ME and community partnership outreach initiatives, which have included preview screenings with Q&A sessions, are supported by Caledonia Foundation, which is a private philanthropic foundation that uses documentary filmmaking as a tool for social change.
