| Description of Work | Love Patrol is a ni-Vanuatu television series. It is the first ever locally produced television series in Vanuatu. Produced by Wan Smolbag Theatre with financial assistance from AusAID, NZAID and the Asian Development Bank, it is a soap opera with a serious message, intended primarily to educate viewers on the topic of AIDS. It also tackles 'youth unemployment, police brutality and the hypocrisy of keeping youth uninformed about sex'. UNAIDS reported that it explores 'the growing issues of high rates of STIs among young people, high teenage pregnancy, lack of discourse on sex and risk taking behaviours in Pacific communities'. It has been described as an 'edutainment' series. Dr Daniel Maddock won the 2015 Australian Cinematographer’s Society Bronze Award for Love Patrol (Television Drama - S06) which broadcast on SBS/NiTV and is streaming on SBS On Demand. |
