Songs Inside

Winner of the CinefestOz Film Prize, Documentary Australia Prize at Sydney Film Festival and Best Documentary at the Adelaide Film Festival.

Songs Inside chronicles the transformative journey of a small group of women from the Adelaide Women’s Prison who, over six months, discovered the healing power of music. As the creative process unfolds, it 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 and an audience of over 200 inmates and special guests.

Screening followed by a Q&A with director Shalom Almond and The Song Birds.
