Over 3 days Episode 8 celebrates all the unruly ways we escape attempts to constrain us, tear down the walls of normative culture and build joy in flight.

A space to reflect on our own experiences with the police and explore more community and care-based ways of dealing with violence and difficulties in our lives.
