Plain Sight

Child sexual abuse (CSA) is extremely common but not often talked about. Millions of people around the world are affected by CSA and prevalence rates are likely to be significantly underestimated. Trauma survivors have long faced discrimination, inappropriate labels for their distress, and victim-blaming when they have come forward about their experiences. This project utilised the medium of film to challenge some of these harmful narratives about survivors.

Final Outputs
Plain Sight Film Stills
Below are a series of stills from the Plain Sight films that were produced as part of this creative research project. Each of the films depicts a different set of key messages that were inspired by participants’ responses about what survivors want the public to know and what they want to see changed.
