Popcorn Pals interviews The Promise writer and director Jye Currie about his powerful new documentary, featuring Craig Hamilton, Paul Harragon, Wayne Bennett, Tim Tszyu, Jessica Rowe, Alan Weiss, Joe Williams and Bailey Seamer. The Promise follows the journey of ABC broadcaster Craig Hamilton and aims to spark a conversation, an action and a solution for mental health and suicide prevention. The goal is to inspire empathy and understanding, and encourage a nation to prioritise mental well-being to support individuals on their path to recovery. In this Popcorn Pals chat, inspiring filmmaker Currie shares how he and Chris Hamilton began their journey to adapt this story; how they tackled such a challenging subject; the alarming facts around suicide; how his film helps to break down barriers in men’s mental health; and how it can help others. All this and so much more in this very special episode of Popcorn Pals.
