Stop The Bus
A film project following a family's journey of New Zealand, on a big yellow bus, seeking to discover how we as a nation can better value our tamariki and rangatahi. We dream of Aotearoa being a place where all children can grow up without fear but full of love, value and opportunities to thrive.
We believe that if we are really serious about addressing child abuse in New Zealand then: To make a difference, it takes us all.
Every small act of kindness helps towards that change.
