TESTIMONIES:

“Based on his performance for us in West Australia, I would classify Kevin Dunn as a world-class presenter on the subject on pro-life topics.”— Peter Abetz, Australian Christian Lobby, WA State Director, (Former Member of State Parliament 2008-2017) — Peter Abetz, Coalition for the Defense of Human Life

“Kevin Dunn is a modern day Cassandra who has produced a film that describes what would be terrifying science fiction, were it not already social fact: the legalization of the termination of the lives of the vulnerable, isolated, marginalized, and anguished in state after state and country after country.” -Cynthia Geppert MD, MA, MPH, MSB, DPS, MSJ, DFAPA, FCLP, Professor of Internal Medicine and Psychiatry, Director of Ethics Education ,University of New Mexico School of Medicine, Adjunct Professor of Bioethics Albany Medical College, USA

“As a pro-life filmmaker, Kevin has devoted his career to sharing powerful stories advancing the cause of life. His courage and conviction in sharing messages of hope and love are sorely needed in a society that is so frequently at odds with a culture of life. He consistently tackles challenging topics such as abortion and euthanasia, shining a light on the destructive effects they have on our culture and on human life itself. It takes dedicated and devoted artists like Kevin to bring these kinds of films to audiences to offer an alternative to the culturally popular narratives and perspectives that dominate film today.'“ —David Naglieri, Emmy Award Winning Filmmaker

“THANK YOU! You were amazing. I saw, looking around the room, that people were enthralled and engaged during your presentation. Mere words fall short in how blessed we were in having you as our keynote speaker. We were thrilled with the turnout - back to pre-covid levels. Board Members have already relayed the positive feedback they received from our guests. —Janet Mulder McKenzie, Administrative Director, Hamilton Right to Life.

“Mr. Dunn is well-known for his excellent work in promoting a Culture of Life through his films and his talks. Mr. Dunn is untiring in presenting his message to parishes and schools... He provides critical information in a manner that informs and empowers his audience. I recommend him as a speaker to those promoting life issues.” —Most Rev. Douglas Crosby, OMI, Bishop of Hamilton, Ontario, Canada

“Kevin is a very personable and professional speaker. In the space of 24 hours I saw him tailor and present two very different but authentic versions of the same essential material to vastly different audiences. Both were pitched perfectly and hit the mark.” — Adrian Taylor, Communications Manager, Archdiocesan Communication Office, Archdiocese of Brisbane

"In his travels through four different countries, director and presenter Kevin Dunn reveals the dangers behind the cultural acceptance of the assisted dying ideology — and does so in a clear and charitable way.” -
-Doug Keck, President and Chief Executive Officer, EWTN (Global Catholic Network)

“Kevin’s talk gets to the too-often ignored heart of the debate around euthanasia: that if the whole person is treated with proper dignity, she will cease asking for euthanasia” .—Chris Da Silva | Life, Family & Outreach Officer, Archdiocese of Sydney

 “While the presentation was on a very serious subject, Kevin prevented it from becoming too heavy by appropriate use of humour and speaking with a deep, caring warmth, refecting his great love for his fellow human beings. This presentation included various film clips from his documentaries, which added a very human dimension, as it allowed others to tell their own stories.” — Peter Abetz, Coalition for the Defense of Human Life, Australia.

“His presentation was both powerful and convincing for all age groups present in the crowd of some 1200 people.  His presentation was passionate but also reflected his compassion for those suffering from terminal illness.”— Peter Abetz, Australian Christian Lobby, WA State Director, (Former Member of State Parliament 2008-2017)

“Kevin is a professional in every way - from the media used during his presentations, to his style of engaging with audiences, to his researched and relevant data. His message is factual, but leaves audiences with a sense of hope, a sense that they can make a difference in their world. Kevin was also the sole speaker at our 2018 Conference of Life Leadership Conference, which is sponsored yearly by the Diocese. He presented over the period of three time slots at the conference and fully engaged the students the entire time. Your parishioners, staff and students will benefit from his expertise, passion and method of empowering all of us to do more.” — Mrs. Teresa Hartnett Director of Family Ministry, Diocese of Hamilton ON

“Kevin’s material addresses both the reality and the hope to be found in a faith perspective on the sacredness of human life in all of its conditions and stages. I would recommend Kevin as a speaker to secondary (especially senior) students.” —Paul Beaudette, Program Leader: Religion and Family Life Education, Hamilton, ON

“Sobering and contemplative, Fatal Flaws is a must-see, regardless of one’s personal views about the rightness or wrongness of medical assisted death. The film challenges us to think critically about our individual and social responses to vulnerability and suffering, and, in particular, the re-shaping of the ‘house of medicine’ through the logic of law.” Mary J Shariff, Faculty of Law, University of Manitoba, Canada
