The Judith Neilson Institute was the major event partner for the 2019 Antidote festival at the Sydney Opera House. The event explored global threats to democracy and the challenges facing journalists, throughout the world.
The Institute invited journalism students from UTS and Macleay College to attend the festival, interview some of the key speakers and make a short documentary about their experiences.
The student delivered two compelling documentaries, each with their own narrative.
