From 4EB in Brisbane, Anisa Hobaya shows us how the subject of height discrimination often falls short of including the stories of incredibly tall people.

Supervising production from Celeste Macintosh. Training from the Community Media Training Organisation. Distributed by the Community Radio Network.

Produced for the 2021 CBAA National Features and Documentary Series.

We might think it’s an innocent joke but when you really think about it, what are people of extraordinary height going through in their day-to-day life? 

After hearing a story from a tall friend about some extreme prejudice she experienced growing up, Anisa Hobaya decided to explore the height stereotypes and challenges tall women face.  

Listen to Standing Tall for a jaw-dropping story and insight into the lives of tall women.

Special Thanks

Celeste Macintosh, Giordana, Heli, and the team from the CBAA and CMTO for their continued support and motivation during the entire production.
