In November-December 1991, the Australian YCW hosted young worker leaders from 40 countries for the 6th World Council of the International YCW.
To commemorate the event, the movement commissioned a young video maker, Heath Ryan, to make a video, produced in the format of the day, VHS
Thirty years later, few of us still own a VHS player.
So, thanks to Fr John Jegorow from Mary Mackillop Catholic Community, Ballajura, and Ben from Custom Video and DVD Solutions in Perth, we have had it digitised.
You can watch it now in full on YouTube here:
Stefan Gigacz has also extracted several clips from the video, including several of International YCW founding secretary, Marguerite Fiévez, and our own Fr Hugh O’Sullivan.
Meanwhile, Heath Ryan has also had an eventful life, moving on to bigger things with his own movie design and production company in Hollywood, Pace Pictures.
