Japanese Film Festival, Raise the Age, and the National Campaign for Truth and Justice Chile

Wednesday, 17 November 2021 - 7:00am to 8:30am

Claudia speaks with Dr Kaori Okano from LaTrobe University about the rise of single women in Japan and the film - Hold Me Back - which is screening as part of the Japanese Film Festival this week in Melbourne.

 

Alice plays an interview with Sophie Trevitt, Executive Officer of Change the Record and the ACT Co-Chair of Australian Lawyers for Human Rights. In reflection of Friday's announcement of raising the age of child incarceration in Australia from 10 years old to 12 years old, Alice speaks to Sophie about the realities of child incarceration. Alice spoke to Sophie before Friday’s announcement, so throughout this conversation, you will hear the age being referred to as 10 years old, but, raising the age from 10 to 12, does not change the message behind this conversation - stop taking children away.

 

Ella speaks with Pilar Aguilera, 3CR Chair person and activist with the Australian chapter of the National Campaign for Truth and Justice Chile. She gives us an update on the case of Adriana Rivas, who is a former secretary to the Chief of the infamous Secret Police, DINA, under the Pinochet era
