>>> 35 Letters Documentary: Remembering Angelique
Updated 14 August 2012
Melbourne writer & Exit Member, Angelique Flowers, was 31 years old when she died awfully from a bowel obstruction. Having been diagnosed with Stage 4 colon cancer just months before, Angelique begged the Australian Prime Minister to change the law. He ignored her.
35 Letters is the new feature documentary by award-winning filmmaker Janine Hosking but the film is not yet finished...
This month, Exit gets behind Janine to help her raise the final A$84,000 needed to finish the project.
'Documentary has the power to change the political landscape' Hosking said. Angelique's story was waiting to be told. I am privileged to have been granted exclusive access to the Flowers' family & to private videos & photographs.
'Please watch the trailer for 35 Letters.
'If you like what you see & believe in its message, please consider making a fully, tax-deductible donation at Documentary Australia Foundation. If you would like to talk to me about the project, I am available on +61 411-275-112.
Thank you. Janine Hosking
