IT STARTED IN THE SUNDERLAND

Medium length documentary. Australia, 2018

Marking the 50th anniversary of the University of Melbourne Medical School building, “It started in the Sunderland” is a documentary celebrating the people who have worked and studied within its walls over the last half century. Screened at the inaugural Reunion Weekend for the Melbourne Medical School in late 2018, the film served to reconnect alumni with this important building—a place of great memories, friendships, and learnings in the formative years of young adulthood.
