Young and Alone
Every day, 43,000 children and young people experiencing homelessness in Australia
face unsafe and isolating conditions. Survival isn’t entertainment for them.
It’s their reality. A reality that no one is watching. Not governments, not media,
or the general public. We worked with Yfoundations to help change this
by launching something Australians would watch - a confronting new reality TV show
that showed the daily battles of young people struggling to survive
in one of the richest countries in the world.

We went deeper into each of our “contestants” stories
through a series of social films and with Creator reaction videos.
