National Reconciliation Week, 27 May–3 June.

Inner West Council invites you to a special screening of Incarceration Nation as pat of Reconciliation Week. This year's theme is "Be Brave. Make Change."

Incarceration Nation is a powerful and ground breaking 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.

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.
