Kids Raising Kids takes audiences inside CC Cares at Canberra College (CC) - a unique school for teen parents but our characters’ lessons are not confined to the classroom. Many of the students are single parents, some are overcoming family trauma and drug dependency and all are navigating a complex system. What unites them is a will to transform their lives - to get an education, stay on the right side of the law, and be the best parents they can be. Commissioned for SBS TV's premium documentary strand Australia Uncovered, Kids Raising Kids was nominated for Best Documentary at the 2023 Australian International Documentary Conference and Best Direction at the 2023 Australian Directors Guild Awards.
