Your Chance to Interview The Unlisted Cast and Creator

On Thursday 27 August, the ACTF will host a live Q&A webinar with Justine Flynn (creator of The Unlisted), and actors Miah Madden, Ved Rao, and Vrund Rao. What do you and your students want to know about this thrilling drama series?

Upper primary and secondary students are invited to join this free virtual learning event, and to submit their questions for the participants. Students may be interested in the production of the series, its themes of cultural diversity, individual rights, and ethical understanding, or perhaps they have questions about working in the media industry.

Secondary Media Arts teacher Karyn Chapman, curriculum writer for The Unlisted Teaching Toolkit, will join the discussion. This recently released resource supports secondary media teachers in exploring themes in the series. It is a perfect inclusion for units on representations of people, culture and society, personal and social identity, diversity, family and abuse of power.
