Launch of ADEC DVD ‘Can I do it my way?...Yes!

On 7 September 2010, ADEC was joined by the Hon. James Merlino MP, for Sport, Recreation, Youth Affairs and Minister Assisting the Premier on Multicultural Affairs and Mr Graeme Innes AM, Disability Discrimination Commissioner and Race Discrimination Commissioner to launch the DVD “Can I do it my way?…Yes!” at Queen’s Hall, Parliament House. ADEC had the pleasure to also be joined by Mr Telmo Languiller, Parliamentary Secretary, Human Services, Mr Robin Scott, Member for Preston, Mr George Lekakis AO, Chairperson, Victorian Multicultural Commission, Mr Laurie Harkin, Disability Services Commissioner and Ms Helen Verse, Privacy Commissioner in attendance of 130 guests.

“Can I do it my way?…Yes!” tells the stories of five very remarkable individuals from different cultures who simply moved on with their lives, overcoming the most incredible challenges…way before government or society finally concluded that people with a disability had the right to make their own decisions. Effie, Christian, Janet, Christine and Alex are leaders in their own right. It is inspiring to see them recognised for their abilities and not their disability.

The production of the DVD was made possible by funding received from the Victorian Government, Department of Human Services, Disability Services. A special thank you to the Victorian Multicultural Commission for their financial contribution to the launch of the DVD.

Antony Balmain the Director/Producer of Conscious Productions was engaged to produce the DVD. He worked with the five individuals over many weeks producing film in excess of 30 hours, which was then reduced to 30 minutes. His skills and enthusiasm was much appreciated by everyone involved.

The DVD is dubbed into five different languages (Vietnamese, Sudanese, Arabic, Somali, Chinese – Cantonese & Mandarin) with subtitles for people with hearing impairment.

“Can I do it my way…Yes!” is on-sale from ADEC, $25 for individuals and $100 for agencies. (postage & handeling $9.00)
