A Long Way to Go

We’ll begin with a special screening of A Long Way To Go. A critical analysis of the intersection of memory, resistance, and the legacies of the prejudicial penal system through two Western Australian prisons, Fremantle and Roebourne.

Following the film, a panel of experts in history, criminology, and filmmaking will discuss how we can document and remember this history through digital media and film. The panel will explore the lasting effects of colonial penal systems on communities today. Our panel of experts will offer practical advice and guidance on how to use film, art, and archives to preserve your community’s history and experiences. This event is for everyone. It’s an opportunity to engage with critical topics in history and social justice, learn new skills, and connect with fellow filmmakers.

Join the Centre for the Study of International Slavery for a unique event that explores the difficult histories of repression and resistance through film and conversation.
