Supporting survivors of rape, sexual violence and childhood sexual
abuse
Society’s most taboo issues need a
voice.
Serious Media representing survivors’ experiences.
There are very few multimedia resources which
affectively inform and address this endemic issue. The programmes Serious Media have produced for
local, regional and national audiences have had a very positive impact
upon those who have viewed them, and in response public sector
representatives have indicated a determination to change the way
survivors in this country are enquired of, listened to and responded
to. The impact is rooted in allowing survivors to speak about their
own experiences.
Our programme formats include educational DVDs,
multimedia CDRoms, web-video presentations, promotional programmes,
conference presentations, multimedia evaluations, public
consultations, and videos to support funding applications.

Client comments...
"Working with
Serious Media was a great experience. Gill captured our vision for the
work we wanted and produced and delivered it in a remarkable way. She
worked with such sensitivity with us as an agency and with our
client's. Gill worked with thoughtfulness with all our clients that wanted to
participate in this project making sure that their individual story
was captured powerfully. The end result is a training and awareness
raising tool that we have used again and again in training partners
and raising awareness about the impact of sexual abuse and violence. I
would highly recommend working with Serious Media!"
RSVP Birmingham
"Gill (Sandell, Director) guided a group of very vulnerable abuse survivors through a documentary. We found her sensitive, absolutely trustworthy, professional and empathetic. Her films don't merely educate, inspire the audience, but also enhance the lives of the participants. A remarkable filmmaker who has a heart of gold."
Survivor -'Not Mad, Not Bad, But Traumatised '
"It was very important to us to ensure that the voices of
survivors of sexual violence were heard at the conference and the film
was extremely powerful in ensuring survivors were at centre of the
day. The film and the individuals who spoke of their experiences
succeeded in reminding us all of importance of improving the response
to sexual violence."
