Beyond Sorry
This moving documentary reveals the complex pressures that come to bear when an urban Aboriginal woman named Zita tries to return to the family she was taken from as a child 56 years earlier. It is a story of cultural conflict, remarkable courage and generosity, of the ties that bind us to our kin, and of two women from the same land trying hard to reconcile two very different worlds. David Vadiveloo's confronting film reveals unspoken complexities in the journey of "reconciliation".
David Vadiveloo will be a guest of the Festival
