MWIA Documentary Fundraiser Evening
You are warmly invited to the exclusive screening of the documentary ‘No Longer Loved’ by Elouise Hahn (Loreto Kirribilli). This moving and eye-opening documentary takes a closer look at the ageing situation in India resulting in a phenomena called ‘Granny-dumping’. Increasing numbers of children are abandoning their parents on the streets, outside railway stations or in under-resourced hospitals to fend for themselves in old age.
‘No Longer Loved’ follows the transformation of three courageous women who once dumped by their children, are now living in a loving home run by a small local charity originally started by Loreto Sister Cyril Mooney in Kolkata.
This is the first screening of the documentary and will be followed by a panel discussion about the role of social justice within the media.
Special guests include:
Fr Richard Leonard SJ, Director of the Australian Catholic Film and Broadcasting
Helen McCabe, Editor of Australian Women’s Weekly magazine
Sandy Aloisi, ABC Presenter and Journalist
Kathryn Greiner AO, MWIA Chair

Funds raised will go towards life-saving projects which Mary Ward International Australia supports around the world in its mission to empower women to transform structures that keep them oppressed and marginalised. Donations will also be given to an Indian charity called Friends of Kolkata’s Elderly (FOKE). FOKE cares for abandoned elderly on the streets of Kolkata and also provides education to children in various forms. The documentary ‘No Longer Loved’ revolves around this issue and highlights the work of FOKE.
