TENDER - A DOCUMENTARY

For anyone interested in the prospect of bringing Tender Funerals to  Canberra and region, this is a great introduction.

Set against the stunning backdrop of the industrial seaside town of Port Kembla, a feisty and resilient community group have determined to take back the responsibility that most of us leave to someone else – to care for their own dead. Scattered throughout are stories that cut to the core, revealing why this small band have decided to take on a practice that for most is taboo.

As their plans for community-based funerals gather momentum, one of their own is diagnosed with a life-threatening illness.  TENDER is at once a heartbreakingly beautiful and beautifully funny glimpse of an extraordinary community taking on one of the most essential challenges of human life…its end.

Tender has received the following Awards:
 - 4th AACTA Award for Best Documentary Television Program presented by Foxtel Movies
- ATOM Award for Best Documentary (General Category)
- Grand Prize of the 12th edition of the FIFO/France Television Awards, Tahiti
