There are more Aboriginal children in govt "care" NOW in 2016, then there were at the peak of the removals depicted in this movie. Go to any news article comments now though & you'll see exactly the same excuses used back then. If this movie broke your heart, please support Grandmothers Against Removals & stop your own grandchildren having to ask why Australians of 2016 failed to stand with Aboriginal people, just as they did throughout the 19th & 20th centuries. http://stopstolengenerations.com.au

Another great Australian movie, wonderful acting & puts a spotlight on the stolen generations, rascism & the view of who are actually primitive. The way the World is today, hunting and gathering is what we should of kept doing, we actually moved & lived with the seasons, it gave Nature a chance to renew. ❤️🙏

Heartbreaker and true strength and love always knowing that you have a loving mother at home to whom whom prayers for her babies...true story of strength of families love and purity and innocence, money means nothing compared to the love and being held by your Only God giving Mother with more love, strength than paper with currency of a white man!😢
