The Last Daughter

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.

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 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 !!!!

Watched this film not knowing what it was about, wow I'm so glad I pressed play.... SO moving and heartbreaking what all these families went through. Still wasn't all that long ago. It truely Breaks my heart what these families went through, could not imagine if that happened to me and my family, of course it wouldn't though as I'm white! Loved the documentary, had many tears.l throughout the whole film. Everyone needs to watch this film. I learnt so much about what happened that I didn't know. It has opened my eyes. Imagine being a young child and being taken from your family, not once but twice. Just horrible.

Enjoyed listening to your story and so sorry you went through all of this but wow what a wonderful ending. Your ability to see your story from both sides is so heart warming. I so wish more people could come together like you have brought your families together.

It is hard to comprehend what happened to you and so many others but the way you told your story was a wonderful insight into what actually happened and it's important these stories are told. It's also equally important like you say that they stay a part of history and we move forward. You tell your story and articulate your message so well.

I'm so glad you found peace. Keep smiling and thank you for sharing.
