Through speaking out about the lack of police investigation, their courage led to important changes at their local police station. ‘Holding Hands’ follows a challenging year in this inspiring couples’ life: triumphantly leading the Sydney Mardi Gras Parade as community heroes, struggling to recover from the physical, financial and psychological costs of a hate crime, and ultimately revealing the healing power of love. At its heart, Craig and Shane’s story reveals that even in the worst circumstances, we can all create positive change.
