We're all sharing this planet and no-one is better than anyone else. No sex, no race, no religion. Respect everyone for who they are. Love everyone for who they are and this place will be amazing.” — Angelena BonetSYDNEY, NSW, AUSTRALIA, July 19, 2021 /EINPresswire.com / -- Multi-award winning Australian documentary filmmaker, singer-songwriter and global women's rights ambassador, Angelena Bonet, has won the Award of Recognition at the Impact DOCS Film Awards in Los Angeles for her biopic documentary feature film "Angelena: Change The World" . Bonet has produced her films in their entirety and has won over 160 film festival awards worldwide collectively for her documentary tetralogy feature films and her documentary short film "Change The World", which recently screened in Tokyo and Seoul, New York Tri-State Film Festival and the Roma Short Film Festival in Rome, Italy. She has been the recipient of many film awards including the 'Humanitarian Award' at The Jane Austen International Film Festival, the 'Human Spirit Award' at the DOCS Without Borders Film Festival in The Bahamas and 'Best Australian Director' at the Best Directors Awards in London.
Bonet has produced a biopic documentary tetralogy feature film series consisting of "Angelena: Change The World", "Angelena: Heart Of The Matter", "Angelena: Light At The End Of The Tunnel" and "Angelena: Warrior Woman" which are all available to rent or buy on Vimeo On Demand. A former Australian model and actress, she has experienced two life changing tragedies, which she has chronicled in her documentaries. Her soulmate and fiancé of three days, Erick Deeby, suddenly and unexpectedly passed away in August 2007. He had written and recorded instrumental pieces of music for her between 2005 and 2007. Bonet then wrote the lyrics and melody to his music after his devastating death and during her time of deepest grief. Then on May 26, 2012, she was a victim of a violent attack and was kidnapped and gang-raped but miraculously survived the attempted murder in Melbourne, Australia. Suffering Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) as a consequence of the heinous crime, orchestrated by someone that she knew and trusted, she is now ready to share her story. The music she co-wrote with Deeby has become the soundtrack for her films and also won numerous 'Best Original Soundtrack' and 'Best Film Score' awards. She promised him whilst in a coma that she would finish their special project and thirteen years later she has received accolades from every corner of the globe.
