Equal The Contest Bendigo screening

Women’s Health Loddon Mallee, The City of Greater Bendigo, Sports Focus and Thorne Harbour Country warmly welcome you to join us for a free community screening of the Equal the Contest documentary in Bendigo.
 
Watching Equal the Contest can help player, clubs and communities understand some of the barriers that prevent equal access in sport. Following the screening there will be a short discussion on the themes the documentary raises for anyone who wants to stay.
 

A note from Mitch Nivalis-

“This film is for anyone who’s ever felt excluded from sport. I hope in watching this story, you see something of your own experience and in the viewing, feel less alone. Equally I hope this film inspires you to step out of your front door and find a sport that speaks to you – either to play, or volunteer and feel a sense of hope for a different future.”

“This film is also for anyone who’s never felt excluded from sport. I hope watching this film, you gain a deeper understanding of the impact of exclusion and the barriers that still exist for women and gender diverse people to participate in sport. May you reflect on your own capacity to create change, be an ally, volunteers, or step to the side so others can come forward and share space with you equitably.”
