THE CAMPAIGN
Incarceration Nation 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. It’s the beginning of a journey to create conversations and change.
Impact Vision
Incarceration Nation will challenge existing narratives of Indigenous incarceration in Australia and tell the truth of our history, revealing the racist systems that continue to impact First Nations people today – and inspiring audiences to dismantle them for a better future.

We all have the power to change the narratives and conversations around us when it comes to injustice. Start a conversation and let us know what you learnt from the film.
Those who benefit from racist systems cannot be silent – we need to use our voice and power to advocate for change. We know that pouring billions of dollars into prisons to lock people away is destroying lives, tearing families apart and doing next to nothing to keep communities safe. It’s time to do things differently.
