KEY TAKEAWAYS: LaunchLeft's mission is to highlight and empower artists and give them a platform to launch their careers. There is a cultural brainwashing that holds to the tenant that if you are rich, you are successful. However, the flip side of that coin is, are you happy and enjoying life? Shouldn't you enjoy the process and not only concentrate on the reward? Collaboration can be painful, but it can produce a better product when people from diverse situations and ideas come together to form an exciting product better than one person could do alone.

Singer-songwriter Shellie Morris still remembers the first time she heard Yothu Yindi's Treaty. She had left her adopted white family in Sydney when "Treaty yeah, Treaty now" blared through her car radio, and changed her forever. The song would become part of the soundtrack of her incredible journey to find her Aboriginal birth family in the Northern Territory and to work out where, and what, home really is.

Prison Songs is an award-winning documentary musical made by WA filmmakers Kelrick Martin and Harry Bardwell, working in association with Indigenous singer/songwriter Shellie Morris and acclaimed British documentary maker, and pioneer of the documentary musical form, Brian Hill. It is a real musical set in a very real situation, and like any musical it uses the expressive qualities of music, songs and dance to communicate intimacy and conviction, giving it an emotional resonance unfamiliar to conventional documentary forms. In this session, Prison Songs forms the basis of a case study in documentary musicals, acting as a launching point to illuminate elements like structure, casting, musical composition and intended impact. Speakers: Kelrick Martin (Director), Harry Bardwell (Producer) and Shellie Morris and Casey Bennetto (Composers) Host: Leanne Pooley
