This is a very good movie regarding the Stolen Generations story as three "half-caste" girls are taken away from their parents to a gulag. It is about a 1500 trek across the outback the three girls make, but it does show many of the issues of actions and policies taken by the Australian government in 1931 against its native peoples (for their own good of course).
Beautiful scenes of the outback as they travel across one of the most magnificently gorgeous countries in the world. I wish we could have seen more of the issues, but I did find this film moving anyway.
Got some good didj sounds in it I can learn too!
