When the producers and crew from Northern Pictures started a 12-week shoot in the locked mental health units of South Western Sydney’s Campbelltown Hospital for a 3-part ABC documentary, they had no idea what to expect.
Documentaries on mental health, artist Brett Whiteley, the environmental threat to our seas, the secret life of pearls and how to have better sex are in the works from Northern Pictures.
To coincide with 2015 World Mental Health Day on October 10, the ABC will again focus a week of programming on mental health and illness and lead discussion, debate and community awareness on an issue that affects many Australians.
