Genocide In the Wildflower State

"Genocide in the Wildflower State" is a documentary about a violent, state-run system of eugenics, racial absorption and social assimilation in 20th Century Western Australia. For more than six decades between 1905 and 1970, thousands of Aboriginal children in Western Australia were forcibly removed from their families.

In 1997 a National Inquiry called this for what it was - genocide.
Stolen generation survuvors give vivid and at times heartbreaking testimony of cruel isolation, abuse and humiliation by the system. Their accounts are supported by documentary evidence from public archives, state records and historical scholarship.
The film is a truth-telling and demand for justice. It holds to account succesive parliaments that have failed to make redress. It is about helping to heal the trauma in the survivor community and building understanding in broader society.
