Saved repeat

For anyone who missed the commendable film Saved starring Claudia Karvan, it is repeated tonight on SBS ONE at 10:15pm.

Saved is directed by Tony Ayres (Walking on Water, The Home Song Stories, Sadness) and features Osamah Sami, Andy Rodoreda, Maria Theodorakis, Beverley Dunn, Elise McCreadie, Neil Meville and Sue Jones.

Sami plays an Iranian detainee who develops a complex relationship with Julia (Karvan), a young mother trying to come to terms with the loss of her new born to SIDS.

Looking for distraction, Julia becomes an advocate for detainees at a Detention Centre where she meets Amir (Sami), an asylum seeker.

The telemovie won directing and screenwriting awards at the Australian Director’s Guild Awards and AWGIEs, and was nominated at the AFIs and Logie Awards.
