Belinda and Rory Sloane, along with Red Nose Australia, are pleased to launch an Australian documentary aimed at raising awareness and funds to reduce the rate of stillbirth in Australia.
Lion Warrior is an Australian documentary that tells the story of Leo Rory Sloane, who was born still on Friday 24 August 2018, at 34 weeks’ gestation.
Leo is the first child for Adelaide Crows co-captain Rory, and Channel 7 lifestyle presenter Belinda Sloane.
The Sloane’s developed the concept of Lion Warrior as Leo’s legacy, and to find the answers to why stillbirth occurs and how it can be prevented.
“If we can help families and prevent stillbirth from happening, or if they are unfortunate enough to go through a stillbirth, and we can provide them with a little bit of comfort and guidance, then that would be an unbelievable legacy for Leo,” says Rory.
“We had no idea until we had Leo and then did our own research that we realised stillbirth was so prevalent in Australia.”
Filmed in Adelaide and Melbourne, and produced by Amanda Bachmann, Lion Warrior follows the Sloanes’ journey, from the moment they realised something was wrong, to their drive to raise awareness and funds for lifesaving stillbirth research.
