Clip description

A mailbox large in the foreground, a house small in the back. Rosalie in voice-over tells us about her experiences of being an Aboriginal child in white foster care. Rosalie begins to tell us of the abuse she has had to endure.

Curator’s notes

This film is riveting from the moment it begins. Rosalie, a gentle woman, speaks with an openness and generosity that belies the experiences she has had to endure. A necessary contribution into understanding what the stolen generations have been through.
