About the documentary
Lifeline has answered more than 23 million calls over the past 60 years.
Growing from humble beginnings to become a service recognised across the globe, Lifeline's history and legacy are explored in this intimate documentary directed by Genevieve Bailey.
A true reflection of the collective determination, commitment, resilience, growth, and compassion that has shaped Lifeline, this film features a range of voices who have contributed in diverse ways. From CEO to Patron, researcher to volunteer crisis support workers, and a brave and honest help seeker, each speaks about an aspect of Lifeline’s rich history and enormous capacity to change and save lives.
Holding Hope is an inspiring compilation of personal stories and recollections reflecting on how Lifeline has unlocked the power of what we bring to people's lives when we simply listen.
