One family, two cultures. Children taken away to be fostered out or brought up in an orphanage – a parent’s worst nightmare lived in reality. The story of the Collard family — the human face of Australia’s stolen generation — members of the aboriginal population, children and parents forcibly separated from each other by a government that thought it had the right to do so. Attempts to seek compensation have thus far failed.
