Groundbreakers
The 10th anniversary of the Connecting with Law Short Film Competition encouraged law students to create a 2-5 minute film about Groundbreakers: people, cases or judgements that have changed the shape of Australian law.
1st Prize Winner
Donoghue Day
Kit Mun Lee, Liam Hartley, Quang Nguyen, Julaicka Sala
University of Melbourne
Donoghue Day is an uplifting and humorous mock-documentary film that follows the endeavours of a law student who strives to put himself into the shoes of May Donoghue as she uncovered the foundational duty of care principle.
Featuring a University of Melbourne law professor, campus pub owner and a rather lucrative personal injury barrister, join this law student’s adventures as he finds out why Donoghue Day is worth celebrating.
