Craig Hamilton, a former ABC Broadcaster turned Mental Health speaker and advocate, has recently collaborated with Jye Currie, Director, and Founder of Green Frog Productions, to create a powerful suicide prevention documentary. Titled "The Promise," this emotionally charged film is set to premiere at Event Cinemas Shellharbour on Monday 9 October. Brace yourself for a compelling and heartrending journey that delves into Craig Hamilton's courageous life—a story that epitomises hope and aims to evoke empathy, understanding, and action, ultimately fostering a nation that prioritises mental well-being.

This documentary comes at the right time, since the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS), released data on 28 September, showing that 3,249 people in Australia died by suicide last year. The research reveals that on average, nine people take their life each day and three quarters of those are men.

"The Promise" is a poignant and enlightening documentary dedicated to the cause of suicide prevention. It seeks to unlock the transformative power of hope and love. The film sheds a compassionate light on the lives of suicide survivors and families who have endured the profound loss of loved ones. Their stories, marked by bravery and heartache, serve as a reminder of the strength that can emerge from the darkest moments and the resilience of the human spirit.

At the heart of this captivating film lies Craig's own narrative - a testament of hope that has the potential to inspire and uplift. As we follow his extraordinary journey, we come to realise that hope can be a lifeline, a guiding light, even in the most trying of times.
