Murru is a unique compilation album, bringing together some of Australia's most celebrated Indigenous artists and talented non-Indigenous blues, folk and alt-country stars to work with inmates and community members from the remote Pilbara town of Roebourne
to create a memorial album to mark the 30th anniversary of the death of 16-year old John Pat who died in a police cell in Roebourne on the 28th September 1983. The aim of the album is to raise funds for a memorial to John to be built in Roebourne, and create discussion around the need for strategies to reduce Indigenous incarceration rates and eradicate preventable deaths in custody.
