Taylah Fires Up Newcastle

Days Like These

About this episode

A police officer with his knee on a man's neck in Minneapolis. Guards rushing a cell in Sydney's Long Bay jail to stop a man from eating biscuits. George Floyd and David Dungay Junior are dead and the world is catching fire around law student Taylah Gray. It sets her own smouldering sense of justice aflame.

She's not a lawyer yet, but Taylah spearheads the legal case to hold a Black Lives Matter protest in Newcastle during the first heightened days of the pandemic. It makes her a lightning rod for criticism and also for the hope of the movement. Under threat of wearing the legal cost from the authorities, she takes her protest all the way to The Supreme Court — will she emerge victorious?
