Sorry and Beyond: healing the stolen generations, by Brian Butler

Brian Butler's grandmother was taken from her family in 1910. She was 12 years old. Twenty years later, her daughter, Brian's mother, was taken. Thousands of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander families, like Brian Butler's, have been coping with the trauma of child removal for more than a century. Beyond Sorry describes the growth of the grassroots movement that exposed the truth about Australia’s shameful removal policies and worked towards justice.
