'Songs Inside' Screening

We are delighted to be hosting a screening of 'Songs Inside' at this years conference on Monday 10 November 12:25pm - 2:15pm at the International Convention Centre Sydney, Gadigal.

‘Songs Inside’ is a compelling feature-length documentary that chronicles the transformative journey of a small group of women from the Adelaide Women’s Prison who, over six months, discovered the healing power of music. As the creative process unfolds, it unearths profound struggles with trauma and addiction, demonstrating that even within the complexities of prison life, music can serve as a universal force for healing and hope. Led by Barkindji singer-songwriter Nancy Bates, their journey culminates in a historic performance - the largest concert ever staged within an Australian prison - featuring the Adelaide Symphony Orchestra and an audience of over 200 inmates and special guests. 

Special Guests

Following the screening, we are excited to welcome 'Songs Inside' producer, Katrina Lucas and film participant, Clancy for a Q&A panel facilitated by Michael White.
