“Left Write Hook” follows eight survivors of childhood sexual abuse as they embark on a transformative journey through a unique recovery program.
Supported by Minderoo Pictures, this program blends boxing and creative writing, offering the group a way to reclaim their bodies and tell their stories.
“We have shined a spotlight on shame. We have made something beautiful out of something sad and tragic. I’m so proud of our commitment and bravery.”
The research-informed 8-week program was founded by Dr Donna Lyon, who has now delivered 10 programs across various Melbourne suburbs.
This powerful documentary showcases their resilience, recovery, and newfound connections, giving viewers a deeper understanding of the victim-survivor experience.
Watch the trailer to witness their inspiring journey of healing and empowerment.
Left Write Hook was directed by Shannon Owen and produced by Shannon Owen, Donna Lyon, Alice Burgin, Gal Greenspan and co-produced by Rachel Forbes.
