'The Children in the Pictures' takes us inside Task Force Argos, a specialist police investigative team dedicated to protecting children from online sexual abuse. Recruited from around the world, Argos investigators infiltrate these global criminal networks, catching perpetrators and rescuing their victims.

Australian Childhood Foundation exists to protect children and restore childhood through relationships that guide, support and have the power to help children heal. The Foundation hopes this film will inform viewers of the significant prevalence of online child sexual abuse, a topic which is often considered too uncomfortable to talk about. Through this partnership, Australian Childhood Foundation wants viewers to be left with a deeper understanding of how perpetrators target children and young people, and what viewers can do to act proactively in their community to stop the abuse.

The Foundation would like to invite you to join them for a premiere screening of 'The Children in the Pictures' and a 25 min Q&A with CEO of the Australian Childhood Foundation, Dr Joe Tucci.
