Songs Inside film screening + Q & A

Songs Inside is a feature documentary by filmmaker Shalom Almond that chronicles the transformative journey of a group of women from the Adelaide Women’s Prison who, over six months, discover the healing power of music. The creative process 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.

After winning the Adelaide Film Festival Audience Award for Best Documentary, this special screening will be followed by a Q&A session with Shalom and one of the film's participants, who have travelled to Alice Springs for the 2025 Reintegration Puzzle Conference.

61 Larapinta Drive, Alice Springs NT 0870
