The Home Front film reviews
“Your documentary was brilliant in exposing the current situation from all angles. I request your aproval and support to post it on the RAR Corporation and Alliance of Defence Service Organisations websites to reach the whole veteran community and its supporting families that we estimate numbers approximately five million people ... We want the whole veteran community and Australian people to see your powerful documentary that shows the reality of life after service for many veterans and their families.”
– Ted Chitham, RAR & Alliance of Defence Service Organisations
“The Home Front Documentary IS the best story telling I have seen in the Australian veteran space. Within the first 15 MINUTES, we had more than 60 enquires for our program and I can only assume it’s going to be a busy few weeks. As many are asking about government assistance, I will be SPEAKING with government in the coming weeks. The demand FOR our course is relentless based on the bridges we gap around the problems highlighted in the documentary. There is no need for a suicide epidemic. suicide is avoidable, you just need a relatable and scalable program that trains every veteran IN the fundamentals in becoming independent operators in their mental health and transitioning success.”
– Dane Christison, CEO Surive the Thrive Nation
“This is the best documentary about veterans I’ve EVER seen. It’s so bloody powerful and moving because filmmaker Patrick Lindsay AM allows these Australian vets to share their struggle with mental illness in their own words, in their own way. It will also make you incredibly angry at the bureaucrats and previous governments who have abandoned so many brave individuals and their families. I urge members of the new Australian government to watch this documentary and take a broom to DVA. Don’t wait for the final report from the Royal Commission into Defence and Veteran Suicide in 2024. New DVA leadership is needed now. You owe it to the families of the fallen.”
— Dean Yates, Author, Workplace mental health consultant
“Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant … should become part of the training package for everyone currently in or joining Defence and DVA and Parliament! ”
— Gary Stone, former Army officer, CEO Veterans Care
