Synopsis
The Sisters of St John of God have lived in the remote Kimberley region of Western Australia for nearly 100 years. Their lives have been intrinsically entwined with the history and fate of Aboriginal people during times of war, disease and government removalist policies. As they approach the end of an era - and the end of their Order - the Sisters search their souls in an examination of their life's work.
