Beyond the Bars: Out and Blak, Radio 3CR - Lisa Bellear, Kutcha Edwards, Juliet Fox, Lester Green, Eleisha Jones, Gilla McGuiness, Johnny McGuiness and Ross Morgan
Beyond the Bars: Out and Blak is a unique radio program that presented the stories, songs, messages and concerns of Indigenous prisoners - a six hour broadcast from within the Port Phillip prison in Laverton and the Dame Phyllis Frost Centre in Deer Park, Victoria.
The judges said it was "simply a great program and a standout winner" and an excellent example of a community telling its own story. They said the program demonstrated that great radio does not have to rely on a big budget - the key ingredient is talking to people who have something honest and important to say.
