Left Write Hook Screening and Panel Event - Hosted by GVCASA
About
Brought to you by Goulburn Valley Centre Against Sexual Assault and Left Write Hook in recognition of Sexual Assault Awareness Month, we welcome you to join us for an in-person screening of the incredible Left Write Hook Documentary, followed by a facilitated panel discussion and question and answer session, featuring Dr Donna Lyon (LWH CEO and Founder & Producer) , a Victim Survivor and former program participant and Goulburn Valley Centre Against Sexual Assault Senior Counsellor Advocates.Left Write Hook follows the journey of eight female and gender diverse survivors of childhood sexual abuse, who participate in an innovative recovery program combining the physicality of boxing with the emotional power of creative writing. Gaining a space to release their memories, reclaim their bodies and imagine new lives for themselves.
Through powerful participatory filmmaking and with unprecedented access, this documentary captures an amazing journey of self-discovery, resilience, recovery, transformation, and friendship, as they begin to regain agency and take back their power.
Left Write Hook offers audiences a profound understanding of what it means to be a victim-survivor today, and the power and strength that can come from connection and healing.
Goulburn Valley Centre Against Sexual Assault looks forward to welcoming local professionals to this screening, and sharing this innovative, evidence-based program with our region. Afternoon tea and networking opportunities will be provided at the conclusion of the panel discussion. We express our thanks to Goulburn Valley Health, the University of Melbourne and NCN Health for their partnership support of this initiative.
