Peace Poetry Video

Compassion Ballarat • July 11, 2021

Through the work of Compassionate Ballarat and Lets Talk Peace Ballarat, Megan Riedl, local Ballarat poet and theatre-maker, has been commissioned to film a video of her three-part poem "Fallout" and she would love your help to make it happen.



The video will be filmed & edited by Sam McColl, and has been funded by a City of Ballarat Community Impact Grant. It will premiere on the International Day of Peace in September to local, national and global audiences online.

 

The video will showcase Ballarat as a place of activism (both historically and currently) and gather local Ballarat people and organisations who are working towards a more peaceful society and world.

 

 In order to create this amazing celebration of peace, we are inviting individuals and volunteers from local organisations who are working in this space to be a part of the video.
