The Last Daughter

This is the most incredible movie or documentary about two families who loved one daughter. Brenda and her brothers and sisters were taken from their parents when she was only 2 years old and the family she went to were told that she was neglected and they could eventually adopt her . She fitted into her white family so well and she was loved by everyone, her white mum & dad , her brothers , sister , grandmothers , cousins, aunties and uncles, everyone just loved her , but it was all lies . She wasn't neglected at all she was taken from a loving home and her parents were fighting to get all of their children back which eventually happened and Brenda was the last daughter to return. Although this was a happy ending for her black family, her white family were torn apart. They were lied to and after loving Brenda for over 5 years she was then taken from them . Thankfully Brenda never forgot her white family and many many years later they are reunited and not just Brenda but her black family and her white family reunite together It is heartbreaking and heart warming. A MUST SEE !!!!

Okkkkk, so I am officially a dude who is " Australian"...I was born here, and raised here all my life, to parents who emigrated from Macedonia and Greece. My first language growing up was both Greek and Macedonian, and English became the third language I learnt. I consider myself Aussie, 100 %, but my heart is Greek. Howeverrrrr..... i have always been aware of the history of Australia. I have ALWAYS been PRO aboriginal in all matters/ This documentary was the best Ive ever watched. This movie made me remind myself.... where my country truly came from. First nations. And it showed me the dsgsusting manner how white people treated the first nations.

I watched this last night and was really moved by Brenda's.story and the amazing way she tells it. It's a great example of how storytelling brings understanding and healing.

You are amazing Brenda.

Thank you for having the courage to tell your story Brenda. And thank you to everyone who participated in bringing the real story to life as well. By watching this you could feel everyone's pain.

Such a sad story, but an important story for everyone to hear. I will be telling as many people as I can to go out and watch The Last Daughter.

It's so important that all Australian's understand this story, as just one sad example of this Countries history.

This is a gut-wrenching tale told in an understated, gracious manner. Brenda is so eloquent as she discusses the terrible injustices experienced by her and her two families. Such a devastating experience, common to too many First Nations people in Australia and across the world.

Brenda has now written a book and is currently touring to promote it. I hope to attend an upcoming event near me. Thank you for sharing your story- it took incredible courage to commence the journey into the past. My heart kept breaking for you and your loved ones.

All Australians should watch this film. Don't miss it.

This is a story / film that all Australians should see . Even if we think we know it , the pain caused to families Black and White needs to be heard again and again . But especially the unnecessary suffering inflicted on Aboriginal people . Black and White people lied to by government. I can imagine no greater pain than having my children taken away ... the lies are unforgivable .... Brenda has taken trauma and turned it into healing ... this film is a credit to her resilience. No wonder Aboriginal and people in general do not trust the government. The two families are the true heroes and of course Brenda.
