THESE WALLS

When the world was thrust into chaos, due to the emergence of the Corona-virus, many cities and countries enforced lockdowns in an attempt to control the Covid-19 pandemic. In Victoria, in Australia, Melbourne's metropolitan area went into the tightest and longest lockdown in the world.

Twelve residents of Darebin, in the north of the city, volunteered to document elements of their reality during lockdown. This is part of their story.

This movie was filmed and produced on the traditional lands of the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nation. We acknowledge that here in Australia, we live and work on indigenous land, which has never been ceded. We would like to extend our respects to all first nations people here, and also, elsewhere on Earth.
