20 years 20 stories launch at Admiralty House, Sydney

I was lucky enough to attend the launch of the 20 Years 20 Stories campaign to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the disability discrimination act.

My film, which I worked on with the Summer Foundation, features two incredible women, Anj and Michelle, both who lived in nursing homes at a very young age due to acquired brain injury.

Our film, Building better lives along with 19 others were launched by the Governor General, Quentin Bryce at Admiralty House in Sydney.
