Among Us
"A Story of the Stolen Generations of Victoria"
Synopsis
Since the Colonisation of Victoria in the 1830's, many Aboriginal children have been removed from family, land, language and culture. They were placed in foster homes and institutions, and adopted into non-Indigenous families. In 2009, members of the Stolen Generations in Victoria returned to Ballarat, to visit institutions in which they were placed. This is their story, told in their own words, captured by acclaimed film-maker Richard Frankland.
