STOLEN GENERATIONS
DOCUMENTARY 2001
Writer/Director: Darlene Johnson
Between 1910 and 1970 in Australia one in 3 children were removed from First Nations families and placed in institutions and foster homes. These children, in most cases, were never to see their family again. The removal of children was a deliberate government policy and forms part of the history of dispossession of the country's original inhabitants. Every Aboriginal family in Australia has directly or indirectly been affected and the effects have lasted over generations. Many have called this genocide.
