In 2022, Mornington Community Support Centre (MCSC) and Peninsula Films recognised there were stories that needed to be listened to. Those in our community who are experiencing homelessness. Those experiencing hardship. Local people.

We began piecing some of those stories together to hear first hand of their experience.

These stories have formed this documentary. MCSC has operated The Ranch crisis accommodation since 2021, and does so with no Government funding. We partner with Southern Peninsula Community Support on the project. Local community banded together and made it happen. It continues without certainty, and with the constant threat of closure.

The Ranch is a 30 minute film which speaks honestly and authentically.

Our hope is that it will help inform conversations locally, and provide a sense of urgency to policy makers, to create change.
