2.6 seconds: New documentary series aims to provoke conversation on Indigenous deaths in custody
WARNING: Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander viewers are advised that this story contains the name and image of an Indigenous person who has passed away, in line with the family’s wishes, and content that may be distressing.
The family of 19-year-old Kumanjayi Walker has made the painful decision to set aside cultural protocol and allow his death to be shown on camera.
He was killed by a police officer in the remote Indigenous community of Yuendumu.
His relatives are hoping a new documentary will provoke a national reckoning about Indigenous deaths in custody.
