the population. The trauma for families and communities is unimaginable.
Indigenous people are 13-16 times more likely to be imprisoned, two of the key
drivers for incarceration are trauma and disadvantage. This documentary
connects the relentless government intervention since colonisation to the trauma
and disadvantage experienced by Indigenous Australians still today.
