- When the movie opens, a woman is recalling the events that molded her perspective on the world. Years ago, her husband, a wealthy Western-educated landowner, challenged tradition by providing her with schooling, and inviting her out of the seclusion in which married women were kept, to the consternation of more conservative relatives. Meeting her husband's visiting friend from college, a leader of an economic rebellion against the British, she takes up his political cause, despite her husbands warnings. As the story progresses, the relationship between the woman and the visitor becomes more than platonic, and the political battles, pitting rich against poor and Hindu against Moslem, turn out not to be quite as simple as she had first thought.
- Thousands of Aboriginal children were taken from their families and communities under a government program that attempted to eliminate the so-called 'half-caste problem' in twentieth century Western Australia. Fearing that a growing mixed-race population posed a threat to white Australian society and influenced by the racist ideas of the eugenics movement of the time, the state government passed laws in 1905 that enabled the systematic removal of mixed-race children from their families, and the strict control of Aboriginal marriages and reproductive freedom, in an effort to 'breed out the colour' over several generations. The over-arching policy of forced social assimilation, which persisted through the 1960s, sought to smash the connections between mixed-race children and their Aboriginal families, culture, language and land. The social devastation and intergenerational trauma caused by these policies, to this day, are compellingly recounted by Stolen Generation Survivors in a new 59-minute documentary - "Genocide in the Wildflower State". Stolen Generations Survivors demand a response to the crucial question: why is it that almost three decades since a national inquiry found this to be genocidal (Bringing Them Home report), and sixteen years since Prime Minister Kevin Rudd formally apologised to them, WA has failed to commit to redress and compensation, when all other states (bar Queensland) have done so? Believing much can be done to heal the ongoing wounds of this catastrophe, Stolen Generations Survivors appeal to WA parliamentarians to 'work with us to put the trouble at the heart of this state to rest'.
