Behind the Scenes

Heather Waters

South Australian based Heather Waters, creator of You Should Be Grateful & The Lost Souls, was adopted not long after her birth.

Heather says she was “raised an only child in a single parent family. Ironic given that is exactly the reason I was adopted – so that I wasn’t raised that way”.

Heather began film making in 2012 with The Lost Souls, which won several awards.

Children and young people in social care, and those who have left, are often subject to stigmatisation and discrimination. Being stigmatised and discriminated against can impact negatively on mental health and wellbeing not only during the care experience but often for many years after too. The project aims to contribute towards changing community attitudes towards care experienced people as a group. See glossary HERE
