Production is underway on CONSENSUAL 🎬

A new feature documentary produced by Media Stockade following activist Chanel Contos and the movement that helped transform consent education in Australia.

Co-written by Chanel Contos, Jane Manning and Rebecca Barry, and co-directed by Rebecca Barry and Kate Vinen, the film traces Chanel's journey from a viral Instagram poll that prompted more than 6,000 Australian women to share their experiences of sexual assault, to the national campaign, Teach Us Consent, that led to mandatory consent education in schools across the country.

Featuring interviews with cultural leaders and educators including Daniel Principe, Zac Seidler and Adair Donaldson, CONSENSUAL is supported by Screen NSW, Minderoo Pictures and the Shark Island Foundation, and is slated to premiere in 2027.
