Creating A New Normal - Life After Black Saturday Bushfires

In 2009 bushfires devastated large areas of Victoria. 173 lives were lost and communities began the long journey of healing and rebuilding their lives. Firefoxes Australia bought the women in this film together to share their journeys of loss, grief, laughter and growth as they work to rebuild a safe, healthy and positive community.
