Almost 20 years later, five of those participants, charted what has and has not changed in how they explore their desire and relationships in Australia today. This 15-minute documentary provides some answers to questions about how their perceptions have or have not changed. Each participant will be asked similar questions, and their answers will be interwoven with each other, giving an insight to the diversity of their experiences since participating in the exhibition. Revealing these stories reaffirms that we all have a unique sexual journey mapped out with secret adventures, whispered aspirations, the pain of risk and an overriding urge for intimacy, love and family. This documentary will provide a unique freedom of speech, as often people with disability are made to feel they need to justify their lives as they can often be asked inappropriate questions by strangers.
This documentary was directed and produced by Dieter Knierim and his team. The team previously worked on national and international projects around complex issues and topics that are often unspoken. Enabling a voice for people living with disability, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders, the LGBTIQ+ community, and violence against women. Dieter Knierim’s team consists of Award-winning photographer Belinda Mason – director of photography; Liam Knierim – journalist, editor, sound technician and Jyotsna Arora, writer and production assistant.
