In this moving film, Victorian Aboriginal film director and singer/songwriter Richard Frankland helps uncover some of the stories of the Stolen Generations. This film takes a group of elders and over two days they visit the old institutions and record their stories and reflections to camera. Some elders did not wish to speak of their experiences, preferring to simply be a part of the group and consider the past in their own way, while some were quite up front about their sometimes traumatic memories. Viewers are exposed to what resulted from their trip and are privy to their stories of hope and survival.
