Join us for a very special film screening of 'The Last Daughter' this NAIDOC Week before we meet the Author on Monday 15 July!
The Last Daughter is an account of Brenda Matthew’s journey to discover the truth about her past and to unite her two families. After being raised as a much-loved daughter in a white family, a young girl is taken away and returned to the Aboriginal family she doesn’t know.
Decades later, feeling a sense of something missing in her life, Brenda searches for her foster family and her beloved white sister, with whom she had had no contact.
Along the way she uncovers long-buried secrets and government bungling, as well as a deep connection to family and to her Aboriginal culture.
The Last Daughter is the story of Brenda's journey to discover the truth about her past, to unite her two families-and to foster a better connection between black and white Australia. It's a story full of heartbreak, love, hope and healing, one that shows a way forward for all Australians.
'I share this story out of love and forgiveness.' Brenda Matthews
The Last Daughter is a powerful and inspiring documentary about Brenda’s journey to unearth the truth, and reconcile the two sides of her family.
After the movie stay as we will have a reflective discussion about the movie.
