Today, on the B Side, we’re joined by Helen Kapalos, an award-winning documentary filmmaker and journalist whose work played a key role in advancing the legalisation of medicinal cannabis in Australia. With more than 20 years’ experience across Australia’s commercial and public broadcasting networks, she directed, produced and appeared in a groundbreaking documentary on medical cannabis that was later acquired by Netflix and SBS and screened nationally, helping bring the issue into the public spotlight.
Helen is also a published author, commentator and speaker on multiculturalism, public policy and social change, and is widely recognised for her advocacy for equity, inclusion and evidence-based reform.
