I fancy watching this (ch 4) tonight. Anyone seen it and can you recommend it?

Yes. It is a really good film. Very moving.

I've seen it twice - its beautifully made and well worth seeing. Enjoy!

[Sozzie]

Well worth a watch - get your tissues ready.

PS. Its on BBC2 not Ch4.

This is an excellent film and a true story of the shameful policies enforced against Aboriginal children of racially mixed parents.

Thanks all, just my kind of movie. Thankyou Sozzie for the useful reminder too! :)

What did you think of the film, sunflower68?

chongalolo I really really loved this movie. The acting was superb and they really gave you a feel for Australia. It was so sad at the end, how she had to make the trip again, and lost her own kids to the harsh regime. Cannot believe they were still taking mixed-race aborigines away from their families in my own lifetime.
