Love In Our Own Time

A documentary film about life, love and death. Love in Our Own Time is a documentary about the extraordinariness of ordinary life, and visits those moments both simple and sublime that compose the lives we lead.

Following seven ordinary Australian families we travel the length and breadth of human experience and bear witness to lives both beginning and ending.

What People Are Saying

“a fascinating and timely exploration of what it means to love in the face of loss and feel truly alive.”

— Jessie Williams
Chair The Groundswell Project thegroundswellproject.com

“This is an amazing and beautiful film which I have now watched several times and also used with a peer group of psychologists for our own professional development. It provoked very rich discussion about birth, life and death, relating it to our own personal experiences and reflecting on our practice with clients… I don’t think I have seen anything close to this in depicting so well the process of dying and that experience for the terminally ill and their families.”

— Ian MacDonald
Psychologist and Executive Coach

“so many people avoid talking about death and dying like it is the plague, those of us who work in hospice and palliative care know such conversations, although sad, they are also often encouraging, inspiring and sometimes downright funny.

It was these little morsels of humour woven through the tapestry of stories about the lives of seven Australian families which saw our audience wavering between laughter and contemplation from beginning to end.

Love in Our Own Time portrayed these rich conversations with grace, dignity and beauty giving the audience real insight into the importance of being willing to enter into the sacred space of someone’s dying, death and grief – and further, that anyone is capable of doing so with just a little encouragement.”
