Join us for a powerful screening of Songs Inside, a moving documentary that explores the intersection of creativity, incarceration, and the possibilities of healing through music and storytelling.
The film follows the creative journey of a group of incarcerated women in an Australian prison as they learn to play instruments and write their songs as part of a life-changing music program.
Songs Inside has received high acclaim, winning the Audience Award for Best Documentary at the 2024 Adelaide Film Festival and the Documentary Australia Award for Best Australian Documentary at the 2025 Sydney Film Festival, highlighting the transformative power of music and storytelling.
Following the screening, hear from Director Shalom Almond and several of the film's participants, as they share behind-the-scenes insights and reflections on the program’s impact.
