The Apology to the Stolen Generations
The
apology to the Stolen Generations by the Australian Parliament on 13
February 2008 was a powerful and memorable moment in the nation's
history, for Indigenous and non-Indigenous people alike. Saying sorry
cleared the air, inspiring Australian to believe we really can build
the kind of respectful relationships needed for positive, long term
outcomes.
The DVD resouce The Apology begins two
days before the historic event as people begin to gather in Canberra.
It includes interviews, stories and many special moments including the
first Welcome to Country in the Federal Parliament.
The film
captures the anticipation on a thousand faces as Prime Minister Kevin
Rudd delivers the apology, and then the spontaneous outpouring of
emotion all around the country. Jack Thompson's narration, Shelley
Reys' thoughtful commentary and the music of Powederfinger,
Silverchair, John Butler, Missy Higgins and the Stiff Gins all help to
make this file a truely uplifiting experience.
