Brian Butler s grandmother was taken from her family in 1910. She was 12 years old. Twenty years later her daughter, Brian s mother, was taken.
Thousands of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander families, like Brian Butler s, have been coping with the trauma of child removal for more than a century. Sorry and Beyond describes the growth of the grassroots movement that exposed the truth about Australia s shameful removal policies and worked towards justice.
Born in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities, the movement was joined by nearly a million non-Indigenous Australians in the 1998 Sorry Day and Journey of Healing campaigns, which paved the way for the Federal Parliament s unanimous apology in 2008.
As the Journey of Healing campaign has shown, community initiatives have played a vital part in overcoming the immense damage done.
The journey isn t over. Sorry and Beyond is a call to continue the work of healing this national trauma.
