"Jodee Mundy Collaborations - Imagined Touch - Documentary"

Reads, in part "When two deafblind women Heather Lawson and Michelle Stevens approached director Jodee Mundy to make a show, they pulled off the impossible. They turned their small community performance into IMAGINED TOUCH, a theatre production that became a sell-out success at the Sydney Festival, going on to win at the Victorian Green Room Awards. This documentary has followed Imagined Touch with cameras from the very beginning."
