Calls to change justice system ‘stacked against’ indigenous Australians

Successive governments have struggled to narrow the chasm between indigenous and non-indigenous people in Australia.

The gap has been called a national shame – and nowhere is it more pronounced than in youth detention.

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander viewers are warned this film may contain images of deceased persons.

Produced and edited by Simon Atkinson.
