‘I Am Daniel’

There are some stories that are too important not to tell. We are so grateful to have got to work with Monash Health and the Southern Melbourne Integrated Cancer Service creating a short film to educate health professionals on best practices working with First Nations patients. 

The feedback from this project has been overwhelming and many tears, according to Jenny (from Monash hospital) who has been able to work with Aboriginal Health Liaison Officer's and use the film to train nurses to act in a culturally respectful way and to factor the many cultural aspects of a person's life into their treatment pathways. This is hugely important as we know it's been a national issue with people being turned away or sent home from hospital when they shouldn't have been.

While the subject matter is heavy, we were lucky to share the filming experience with an amazing crew who helped us take over an entire empty hospital wing for a day. Thanks so much for your sensitivity and hard work!
