OVENS MURRAY 'UNANSWERED CALLS' Premiere

This is not just a film; it’s a wake-up call.

Unanswered calls is a powerful documentary that sheds light on the often-overlooked stories of Austraia’s young victim-survivors of family violence – children and young people. This film invites us to listen more deeply and act more bravely and to understand what is possible....

The Ovens Murray Community Services networks of; Ovens Murray Child & Family Services Alliance (OMCFS), Ovens Murray Family Violence Partnership (OMFVP), Ovens Murray Mental Health and Alcohol Drug Alliance (OMMHADA) and Ovens Murray Homelessness Network, invites you to The Ovens Murray Premiere;

This impactful documentary raises awareness of how we must better support children and young people experiencing or afraid of domestic and family violence – to ensure no more children and young people fall through the gaps.

The film features interviews with young people with lived experiences of family violence, as well as family violence advocate, Rosie Batty AO; Commissioner for Domestic, Family and Sexual Violence, Micaela Cronin; and Linda Buchanan, Victoria’s Principal Commissioner for Children and Young people.
