The Screen Guide

Memory is a funny thing. Something that happened 65 years ago can be as real in a person's mind as if it was yesterday. In this haunting and disturbing story 70-year-old Grace Lenoy, of the Birrigubba Nation, recalls abuses that took place as a small child living in the Fantome and Palm Island settlements, under the supposed care of the State Government and the Aboriginal Protection system.
