YEAH Resource: Share my Secret:
Untold Stories of Young Australians
Background: This resource features a series of powerful animated stories narrated by Australian children and teenagers living with HIV; one of the largest issues impacting on the health of teenagers worldwide. In 2006, the ABC's Radio National ran a story on HIV Positive Teenagers in Australia which brought this issue to light. While the interviews received broad community interest, the portrayal of the stories was limited to radio, highlighting that the number one issue facing these young people is disclosure of their 'secret.' YEAH has partnered with the Victoria College of the Arts to produce a series of short animated films using the interviews with HIV positive teenagers as the soundtrack in order to bring these poignant and touching stories to life. The vignettes can be watched individually or in succession, and emphasize the need for building social inclusion and community understanding of HIV’s impact on young Australians.
Contents:
- 1 x DVD containing: (Region 4 PAL)
- 4 individual short animated stories, a montage of animations set to a compilation of interviews, a 5 min feature showing the responses of groups of high school students to the animations during National Youth Week
- 1 x Report produced from the National Youth Week focus group session including a student evaluation template that can be used in conjunction with the animations
