BEYOND WALLS SCREENING AT THE NEW INTERNATIONAL BOOKSHOP.

5:30pm for a 6pm start.

Community, we invite you to join us for a community film screening and conversation about Beyond Walls, a collection of short documentaries that examine prison abolition from a wide range of perspectives with the hope of inspiring people to imagine and take action toward a world invested in community and not punitive practices.

Beyond Walls is an organizing initiative that uses documentary films to define and amplify what prison industrial complex (PIC) abolition means, and inspires people to imagine and take action toward a world without policing. Beyond a goal of simply changing hearts and minds, these five short films empower communities with concrete tools and actions they can take to help create a world without police and prisons.

The event is co-hosted by the New International Book Shop (NIBS), one of Melbourne's longest running leftist book shops and community spaces and with Flat Out Inc, a support service for women, trans and gender diverse people 9and their children) who are criminalised by our state.

When: October the 5th, 5:30pm for a 6pm start.

Where: The New International Bookshop, basement of Trades Hall - 54 Victoria Street, Carlton.

Cost: FREE (please RSVP)

Speakers: Flat Out Inc

For those who want to continue building towards a world without prisons and police, there will be resources available on how to get involved and take action in the community, as well as organizations who can answer questions.
