This week on NITV’s The Point, the team investigates how the Black Lives Matter movement that is making headlines around the world resonates with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
The death of African-American man George Floyd during his arrest by Minneapolis police has made global headlines and has led to protests in the United States. But to Indigenous Australians, deaths in police custody aren’t a foreign experience with 432 cases since 1991 – right here in Australia.
NITV hosts Ryan Liddle and Shahni Wellington will be joined by a panel of experts and special guests to examine deaths in police custody in the United States and in Australia – three decades on from the Royal Commission into Aboriginal Deaths in Custody.
