Narrated by Margot Robbie and sharing the often secret lives of an eclectic group of women across Australia, UNDER COVER shines a light on the devastating reality that women over 50 are increasingly experiencing homelessness in the country. Their moving but optimistic portraits reveal the struggles these women face, and lay bare the flaws in our society, as well as our economic fragility in the modern world. 

The film is written, directed and produced by documentary filmmaker Sue Thomson, and produced by Adam Farrington Williams.  

“A Must See Movie. Very well made and eye opening to the reality of so many Australians.”
Ralf Thesing - Treasurer MRSG

“The Rotary Clubs of the Macedon Ranges have been working to assist people facing homelessness for some years and welcome the opportunity to shine a light on this issue and the shortage of affordable accommodation in our region.

We are looking forward to this important discussion about how we can work with property owners who want to assist those in need of accommodation."

Josephine Falzarano, Rotary
