Tune in to Beyond the Bars in 2015 to hear Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander prisoners on the airwaves. The project features radio shows broadcast live from six Victorian prisons during NAIDOC Week 6-10 July 2015. ‘The main purpose of these broadcasts,’ explains Koori Survival Show broadcaster Gilla McGuinness, ‘is to connect our people in the prison system back to family and culture on the outside during NAIDOC Week.’ Download the poster.
