Left Write Hook: Canberra film screening and Q&A

About

Join us on Tuesday 24 November for a special Q&A screening of the multi-award-winning Australian documentary Left Write Hook, presented in partnership with Canberra Rape Crisis Centre (CRCC) and The Snow Foundation.

The powerful film follows survivors of childhood sexual abuse as they take part in a unique recovery program combining trauma-aware creative writing and non-contact boxing.

After the screening, stay for a live panel discussion with filmmakers, film participants and past participants of the Left Write Hook program.
