The Promise

Very impressed with Jye and Craig and the work they are doing with this video.

I seen this movie at Dungog cinema at a free community screening. The boys are travelling around Australia taking this movie to communities that need the most this is more than a movie. This is a movement, a mission as Jye said during the Q&A a call to action.

Very impressed with the picture, the camera operator done an incredible job at making this very pretty, I don't feel as if I've seen another Australian documentary that looks so great. It really helped tell the story and kept me engaged.

I feel as if this film should be played in every small country town across Australia as the farmers are doing it very tough and the suicide rates in Australia are way too high. I take my hat off to these men for doing what they have done and making a movie that will save many lives.

Thank you!

Every Australian should watch this film. This is a film that will create change. We will look back at this movie in 20 years from now and talk about how it changed the dialogue in the mental health space in Australia.

It is beautifully shot. The camera work in this feels like I'm watching an actual movie not a documentary. The music drives it and the story just continues to unfold.

It's very very inspiring listening to people share their story in such a vulnerable way. I don't know how these people had the courage to speak in the way they did but because of this it will help many Australians. Real, raw, honest, and truthful.

I can see this going into schools & and even a sequel being made.

I haven't heard of the director Jye Currie before or seen any of his previous work, but I know he has a big career ahead of him.

Australia needs this documentary. And honestly I needed it too. I have had my own battles with mental health and for a long time thought something was wrong with me. After watching this I finally feel heard. I have since made the promise with my best friend and it wasn't until now I found out they were struggling too. This is a real issue we have in the world and to the people who made this I thank you!

To the people who shared their story in this movie, thank you! You are brave and have given me the courage to make a change in my life.

Much love! Highly recommend this documentary, it's a hard watch (from the content) but beautiful.

The Promise is a straightforward and honest documentary. It follows Craig Hamilton's story and gives a real look into what it's like to live with mental illness. There's no drama added, just the truth.

It's important because it talks about something a lot of people in Australia go through but don't speak about. The film shows how serious the mental health crisis is, especially for men, and why conversations like this need to happen.

This film is important for men because it breaks the silence around something many struggle with but rarely talk about. In Australia, a lot of men grow up being told to toughen up, to stay quiet about their feelings. The Promise shows that opening up doesn't make you weak.

Too many men think they have to deal with everything on their own. That showing emotion or asking for help means they've failed somehow. The Promise challanges that idea and I encourage every man to watch it. It ain't weak tk speak!!

I really love that this film was made. Craig's story is great and moving but it's nothing without a film like this.

I hope all Australians take the time to watch this and spread the message.

I really felt connected to Joe Williams. His a great speaker and is a great sportsmen. To open up about what he went through could be a movie on its own but the really hero's in this film are the 4 people at the end who shared their stories about losing their loved one. Wow that must be hard to do. I can't whine how difficult it would be to make something like this.

Well done to all involved and hats off to everyone who was brave enough to share their story.

Must watch!
