ScreenHub thinks this is a very fair thing. Those Human Rights Awards are really worth having, and the competition is stiff.
Director David Vadiveloo has received two of Australia’s most
prestigious human rights awards for his commitment to minority
communities and his achievements as a filmmaker and advocate.
At the 2005 Human Rights Awards held in Sydney last week, David
Vadiveloo was the winner of the National Community (Individual) Award
for his work at the grass roots level assisting Indigenous communities
to communicate their issues to the global stage. David was series
creator and Director of the landmark ABC children’s television and
interactive series UsMob (www.usmob.com.au) which encourages
cross-cultural communication and helps Indigenous communities to find a
voice through the internet. His work includes numerous community-based
projects and films addressing issues such as domestic violence,
education reform, mandatory sentencing and health crises. David’s
nationally and internationally awarded documentaries and docu-dramas
include Trespass (SBS), Beyond Sorry (ABC) and Bush Bikes (SBS).
