"Daisy Tells a Secret" animated video premiere at Palladium
"Daisy Tells a Secret" animated video premiere at Palladium
HAVEN and Verizion Wireless will host the premiere October 8, 2009 of Daisy Tells a Secret, at the Palladium 12 in Downtown Birmingham.
For the last few months, HAVEN has been working with Detroit’s own One of Us Films to make an animated video about a young girl who is sexually abused by her uncle and learns that it’s okay to tell. The video will be used to educate young people and their parents about body ownership and boundaries, as well as the difference between good secrets and bad secrets.

One of Us Films makes films of distinction, films with a conscience. Their film, Regional Roots: The Birth and Evolution of Detroit and It’s People, was just awarded “Best Detroit Documentary” at the Ferndale Film Festival.
From their website: “One of Us Films was founded as a non-profit organization in 1995 to produce the fictional film One of Us. The intention of the film was to raise awareness about acquaintance rape. Since then, One of Us Films has remained committed to supporting efforts to eliminate domestic violence and sexual assault.” This commitment is evident in the loving care they have put into Daisy Tells a Secret.
