Inside

2024

Inside (2024) is an Australian prison drama film created by Charles Williams.

Vincent Miller stars as Mel Blight, a young offender who has just been transferred from juvenile detention to an adult prison. He begins the process of being paroled but is wondering whether he should be.

In the adult prison, Mel is mentored by Mark Shepard (Cosmo Jarvis) who is regarded as Australia’s most notorious criminal, and long-term prisoner Warren Murfett (Guy Pearce) who is also applying for parole.

During one of the flashbacks we find out that Mel Bright’s father was also in prison and we suspect that his behaviour while on parole is the reason for Mel questioning the wisdom of parole.

We also find out that Mel was in juvenile detention as a teenager because he killed a boy.

Trauma warning: This archive contains material relating to care experience including references to abuse, neglect, sexual violence, and institutional harm.

 

Children and young people in social care, and those who have left, are often subject to stigmatisation and discrimination. Being stigmatised and discriminated against can impact negatively on mental health and wellbeing not only during the care experience but often for many years after too. The project aims to contribute towards changing community attitudes towards care experienced people as a group. See glossary HERE
