With her soon-to-be-dead boyfriend Chris Chahal (for some reason, only ever referred to in Safe by his full name), they tracked down Bobby and discovered he ran the aforementioned '80s bar. It's here she spotted a VHS tape (we're surprised she even knew what it was) and subsequently nabbed it and used boyfriend Chris's video player – they discover it's the CCTV footage from the night of the fire in the school from 1990. Her diary hinted at an "incident" so she visited neighbour Helen (Karen Bryson), whom Rachel had telephoned on her last day alive. “When you look at the statistics, it’s kind of impossible to escape because either you have experienced it or you’ve experienced it through someone that you love or care for.Causing her dad Tom all sorts of problems, Jenny went on a quest to uncover the truth after her mother Rachel told her about "people dying" from her death bed. While it’s difficult to gather data on a crisis that still largely happens behind closed doors and is often unreported, the Australian Bureau of Statistic estimates one in six women have been a victim of physical abuse from a partner and one in four have been a victim of emotional abuse from a partner. Dee found Barnes to be an incredible resource because of the writer’s specific knowledge.

“It explores those moments that go unnoticed, the moments that your instincts might tell you it’s bad but we don’t give ourselves the permission to trust that instinct because we’ve seen stories that perpetuate this narrative that it’s only violence if someone’s being physically hurt.”Ĭreator Anna Barnes had worked in a family violence legal centre in a similar capacity to Dee’s character, and a lot of the details in the series comes from her own experiences. Picture: SBSĭee talked about how the series gave her a deeper understanding of family violence at different points – that it’s not just about the moment someone is punched but it’s about how it starts. Safe Home is a four-episode Australian drama. It’s the kind of subject matter that can be triggering, for those watching these series, and those who made it. While Safe Home is grounded by Phoebe’s story, it also weaves in the tales of other women going through traumatic experiences which vary from in familiarity of audiences’ perceptions of what constitutes family violence. Phoebe is a PR person, she’s not a lawyer and the four-episode series charts her experiences in being exposed to a world that’s seemingly new to her. Safe Home follows Phoebe (Dee), a young woman who goes to work for a family violence legal centre. On one of the first days of filming on her new series, Australian drama Safe Home, Dee went to the bathrooms before in the production office, and found behind each stall door was a laminated sign that read, “We’re making a show called Safe Home, this is the story we want to tell and we are trying to honour and pay tribute to the victim-survivors, if you are feeling triggered, here are some numbers you can call, there are resources”. The Australian star of The Bold Type and Sissy told that it’s the place she goes to “have a little cry in private” when she feels triggered. When she’s felt overwhelmed on set, Aisha Dee will often take refuge in the bathroom.
