About
Songs Inside is an award-winning feature documentary by filmmaker Shalom Almond that chronicles the transformative journey of a group of women from the Adelaide Women’s Prison who 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.
The screening will be followed by a Q&A session with some of the filmmakers and film participants.
