"The film has developed into a powerful journey into Australia's indigenous relations, from colonisation until the present day. It looks at Australia?s ongoing policies of paternalism and assimilation, explains the real issues underlying Indigenous disadvantage in this "lucky" country, and upholds the right of First Australians to dignity, culture and empowerment in their own country. Featuring the voices of youth, men, women and elders from remote communities in the Northern Territory, Aboriginal leaders and personalities from across the country, as well as academics, lawyers and international activists, the film opens the way for dialogue on how Australia can move forward with genuine respect and partnership with its First Peoples. Into a future where solutions come from working together, rather than being dictated from Parliament thousands of kilometres away."--Our Generation web site
