    The young children's performance is excellent. Peter Gabriel's incredible soundtrack to this film is an absolute must have.

    Great movie based on true events, I saw it long time ago and will watch it again soon. I was a careless teenager back then when I first watched it but now that I stumbled upon it again it will mean much more to me. It kind if resembles the struggle I have had in my life, but I will talk about that no more.

    A must, very enjoyable movie, it is awesome to see the maturity and the strength of the kids, it will keep you on edge all the way through.

    THIS FILM IS BASED ON TRUE ACCOUNTS OF 3 YOUNG ABORIGINAL GIRLS IN THE 1930S AND THE RACIAL TREATMENT THEY RECEIVE. A REMARKABLE FILM THAT IS QUITE MOVING.

    I really enjoyed this when it came out, thought it was a very good movie, but I'd like to see it again now that I'm older.

    This movie had me depressed for two weeks (it's no joke). I just could not believe that's what happened. SOOOO SAD!

    A section of white Australia refuses to admit the terrible impact British colonisation had on the Aboriginal people of Australia. Australian schools have only just begun teaching the grubbier side of our history, the destruction and near of genocide of the indigenous peoples and their culture. As a white Australian, I found this film uncomfortable viewing. I couldn't help but feel a sense of shame and sadness.
    Unfortunately, i can't say this happened in a more 'barbaric' age. it was still taking place in the late 1950's and early 1960's.
    The Aboriginal people of Australia were only granted citizenship in 1967.
    A powerful, moving film.
