Unfiltered
Produced in Western Australia, an independently made documentary amplifying real lived experience stories in mental health.
Unfiltered is a 30-minute Lived Experience documentary filmed on Walyalup Boodjar, created to bring the 2025 WA Mental Health Week theme – Empowering Communities, Thriving Workforces – to life. Produced by Rachael Burns (Founder, Integrity Initiative) and Lily Gresele (Founder, How To Be Well), Unfiltered amplifies the voices of Western Australians navigating mental health and AOD challenges, neurodivergence, disability, homelessness, chronic illness, and more. Through raw and authentic storytelling, the film explores what it means to find belonging, purpose, and identity.
Behind the Scenes
Filming Day — July 27th 2025
A Day Full of Community and Creativity
Season one filming took place on July 27th, 2025 at Diversum Health (who kindly loaned us their office space) in Walyalup (Fremantle, Western Australia).
“Despite the atrocious weather, it was a beautiful day full of laughter, community and full hearts. It reminded me why community projects matter, and reignited my love for filmmaking”
Rachael Burns
The day was led by Rachael (Integrity Initiative) and Lily (How To Be Well), but the most important contributions were those of our cast — Lana Moon, Natalee Blakemore, Zoe Diakoloukas, Eva Cocks, Annabel Tannenbaum, Jake Gaitskell and Ally McDonald.

Host a private screening
A private screening is suited to teams, classrooms, services or small communities who want to watch Unfiltered together and talk through what comes up afterwards. We can tailor the introduction and discussion prompts to your group.
1
Sponsor a public screening
Sponsoring a public screening covers the cost of opening Unfiltered up to the wider community, free for anyone who wants to attend. It puts your organisation's name behind a project built on Lived Experience and collective care.
2
Purchase a license to use Unfiltered as a training resource
A training license gives your organisation ongoing access to Unfiltered for inductions, professional development or workshops. You can also choose a package that comes alongside our learner resources! It's a practical way to bring Lived Experience into the room without booking a new screening each time.
