JUST IN FROM DOWN UNDER, and DOWN THE 401

November 30th, 2007

“Yippee… There are over a 100 people here and the film is a hit! The “using media as an advocacy tool” topic is a real win here. As in Montreal, people are saying our experience is ‘inspiring’! I’m very excited!”

That’s the news, just in moments ago, presumably off his blackberry. It’s from Dr. Ian Dawe, head of Emergency Psychiatry at SMH, who has travelled to Australia to present our film THE INTERVENTIONISTS at the World Psychiatry Congress.

And tomorrow, our partners at Street Health are on their way to an interesting event in Kitchener, to present their findings in the Street Health Report, and to screen our film STREET HEALTH STORIES.
