for my reflective paper, I decided to extend my knowledge of the history of Indigenous Australians through the times of European settlement. I took notes throughout the film about the connections with traditions and beliefs in icons of their land. For instance, the film makes clear in the beginning about the spiritual belief of an eagle as it looks over them in protection and guidance.
The film is based in the early 1930's and focuses on the stolen generations, based on the real story of Molly Craig, sister Daisy and cousin Gracie and their trek from the Moore River Native Settlement back to their homeland of Jigalong. The movie makes you realize the hardship of these generations and through knowledge of land, spiritual beliefs and determination, how they overcame the "European lifestyle".
