PRISON SONGS

Directed by Kelrick Martin

Australia / 2015 / 56 min / DCP /

 

FIPA 2015 Selection

Aboriginal citizens make up 30% of the Northern Territory’s population but in its largest prison, over 80% of the inmates are Indigenous. The inmates of Darwin’s Berrimah Prison are shown in a unique and completely new light in Australia’s first ever documentary musical. In an Australian first, the inmates share their feelings, faults and experiences in the most extraordinary way: through song. This thoughtful and unique documentary gives voice to these normally overlooked Australian citizens.
