guard and lost my cool, I publicly lost my cool. “I went to the party and made a fool of myself, I got a bit of steel pipe out of my work truck and started smashing up the car in front of a lot of people

and children and I realised when I saw the looks on those kids’ faces that I’d really scared these guys.” Ms Wiesner’s documentary, to be aired in the second half of 2015, is currently in pre-production.

She and Dave are now calling on men who desire to change their behaviour to take part in the Heavy METAL program and allow their journey to be filmed. Continued page 8 1127041-LB13-14
