Open Door is a unique form of community-based television that allows groups or individuals to apply to make a documentary about an issue they’re involved in - whether it’s family, social, environmental, or whatever. The production company, Morningside Productions, then works with TV3 to select the ten successful applications. The programmes are made using the expertise and equipment of the production team, but with participants taking editorial control. It is funded by New Zealand On Air and broadcast on TV3.

International Award for Road to Recovery
 
Morningside Productions, in association with Framework Trust, have been awarded a Special Media Award by the Australia and New Zealand Mental Health Service for our documentary Road To Recovery.

Road To Recovery follows a group of people who have successfully conquered their mental illness and are now contributing to society, as they talk about what caused their health problems and what it is that keeps them healthy.

The award describes Road To Recovery as "an inspirational program which, through effective collaboration, is able to convey vital knowledge and hope regarding mental illness, the road to recovery, and maintaining mental wellbeing."

We extend our thanks to all of the participants for sharing their stories.
