- The Truth Project: Its Time to be HeardThe Truth Project, which is part of the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse, aims to give people a safe opportunity to share their experiences of abuse that may have been suffered long ago. Following a poster and radio campaign by MullenLowe last year, the film uses the concept of speech bubbles and acknowledges that victims and survivors of child sexual abuse have "never been heard". The work was created by Lovisa Silburn and Hugh Todd and directed by Chris Palmer through Gorgeous.
