Understanding Indigenous Disadvantage in Australia

When we examine key wellbeing and socio-economic indicators in Australia, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people experience disadvantage that far exceeds that for non-Indigenous Australians. The documentary Incarceration Nation lays bare the story of the continued systemic injustice and inequality experienced by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples on their own land, told by Indigenous Australians, experts and academics. Incarceration Nation screens on NITV, Sunday 29 August at 8:30pm and on SBS On Demand.
