Henry talks with Sonja Hammer, a First Nations woman originally from Aotearoa/NZ. Sonja established the very first LGBTIQA+ Pop culture discussion group called 'Queer Geeks of Oz', and for eight years produced and presented a radio show on Horror and Science fiction genre and an intersectional feminist show. Sonja's passion for film has led to her involvement in Girls on Film Festival, Melbourne Queer Film Fest and Stranger With My Face 'Attic Lab' to the critics campus with Melbourne Women in Film Festival, Birrarangga Indigenous Film Festival, programming for the Wairoa Maori Film Festival and in 2020 became active as a Short film programmer for EFFA and programmer for Maori and Pasifika content for the MWFF in 2021 . Sonja also has new projects on the backburner which will resurrect her Podcaster and Broadcaster skills. A total Horror genre geek and cinemaphile, Sonja is also passionate in the areas of anti-racism and advocacy work.
This conversation was originally broadcast on 3SER's 97.7FM Casey Radio in November 2022. It was produced by Rob Kelly.
