SONGS INSIDE

A group of incarcerated women sign up to learn an instrument and write their own songs as part of a music program in an Australian prison, led by Barkindji singer songwriter Nancy Bates. The women, who come to the program low in confidence and self-worth, are quickly thrown into a world of creativity and blossoming self-determination. But the process also opens up deep scars around trauma and addiction, threatening a once-in-a-lifetime prison performance alongside the Adelaide Symphony Orchestra.
