The Mask Boys - Ali Curung

Added by North Australian Aboriginal Justice Agency (NAAJA)

Created with young people from Ali Curung community in the Northern Territory.

The film is a fun way to start a conversation with young people about what they might do if approached by police.

The film shows police talking to two different boys about a recent crime. Both boys were not involved in the crime. The first boy becomes angry with police and their behaviour results in their arrest.
The second boy is calm and respectful when speaking with police and knows their rights.

Created in 2017 by CAALAS Community Legal Education team, in partnership with CAYLUS.

From January 2018, CAALAS' services have been provided by NAAJA.
