Join Meerilinga Beechboro for a screening and discussion of documentary Incarceration Nation.
Incarceration Nation is a powerful and groundbreaking documentary which tells the story of Indigenous incarceration in Australia from invasion to today. Told by First Nations voices, this film goes beyond the headlines and statistics to the real people and families who are harmed by our justice system.
We are proud to be sharing this film and raise awareness of a need in our community.

ABOUT THE FILM
Incarceration Nation is a story of strength and resistance in the face of invasion and racism. The film lays bare the story of the continued systemic injustice and oppression of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples on their own land, told by Indigenous Australians.
This story needs to be told; it’s time to put our Nation’s justice system on trial.
