‘Don’t Tell’ won the Audience Award for “Best Feature Film” at the

Newport Beach Film Festival!!

Up against over 300 films at the festival ‘Don’t Tell’ proved to be a universal story that is as relevant in the US as it is here in Australia.

The feedback from the premiere was clear, this story needs to be told

and shared as wide as possible.

The Children Of Phoenix Foundation is proud to announce we have been selected as a Charity Partner that has been afforded the honour of hosting special screening events of the upcoming film, ‘Don’t Tell’ which releases in cinemas nationally on May 18th 2017!

The film starring Jack Thompson, Rachel Griffiths, Aden Young, Sara West, Jacqueline McKenzie, Gyton Grantley, Susie Porter, Martin Sacks, Robert Taylor and Sara West, tells the story of a young woman who fought back after enduring sexual abuse at a prestigious private school.

With a dogged and determined local lawyer by her side, Lyndal took on the powerful church that denied her abuse for over a decade.

Based on true events that changed Australian child protection laws, it is a poignant story about finding the courage to stand up, speak out and fight against injustice.

Producer Scott Corfield said of the film, “An important Australian film like ‘Don’t Tell’ can only ever be brought to the screen when you have a cast and crew that completely invest themselves in the story and that’s exactly what we had with this film. I am so incredibly proud of the work everyone put into this inspiring true story and am thrilled to be finally showing it to an audience.”

“Considering the outstanding work Children of Phoenix Organisation does with survivors of sexual abuse, and also in raising awareness to help prevent future cases of child sexual abuse, your values align strongly with those of the team behind ‘Don’t Tell'”

The film provides an opportunity for open discussion of this important subject matter, and emphasises the imperative for zero tolerance towards sexual abuse to be shared in an entertaining and powerful way.

Interview with Missy Higgins about her song Torchlight written and performed for Don’t Tell:

“The most exciting thing is that I have a single coming out THIS FRIDAY, a song called ‘Torchlight’ that I have written for an upcoming Australian film with an all-star cast called ‘Don’t Tell’. It is quite an extraordinary film: a true story about a courageous young girl seeking justice against the church. I really felt like I’d seen something special when I walked out of the preview the other day. I cried many, many tears (and it’s not often I cry during my own songs!) so please go and see it when it comes out. I feel incredibly honoured to have been a part of it. I should also add that the film was shot up in Toowoomba, so we decided to film the video clip up there also, at the Empire Theatre.” – Missy Higgins facebook post.
