The history, culture and heritage of Roebourne prison

In the far northwestern Australian town of Roebourne lies an abandoned prison. Previously used as a tool of colonisation, containing Aboriginal people from around the Pilbara region, the authorities now plan to re-open it as a heritage asset. This film explores how local people feel about their awful history being packaged for predominantly white tourists passing through; and asks, if not tourism, what can be done to help the people of Roebourne?

Its really nice of these white Englishmen to come all the way here to explain the impacts of colonisation to us

I agree - we owe much to these White Englishmen to explain how they set up Australia with criminals and scum and taught them the tools to ensure the genocide of the First Nations people. And not a mention of reparations - poor White Englishmen can't afford that now anyway. Let's start with a First Nations Monarch after Charlie gives in to the cancer?
