Bordering Fiction and Documentary: Ghosts…of the Civil Dead

Ina Bertrand
March 2002
Australian Cinema and Culture
Bertrand revisits one of Australia's most harrowing yet revealing and thought-provoking films about prison systems in particular and society at large.

Established in Melbourne (Australia) in 1999, Senses of Cinema is one of the first online film journals of its kind and has set the standard for professional, high quality film-related content on the Internet.

Senses of Cinema was founded on stolen lands. We acknowledge the sovereignty of the Wurundjeri and Boon Wurrung people of the Kulin nation and support all Aboriginal people on their paths to self-determination.
