About the Movie

Genre: Documentary

Runtime: 1hr 36 mins

After being raised by a white family, a young girl is taken away and returned to the Aboriginal family she didn’t know. Decades later, she's on a journey to discover where she truly belongs.

Brenda’s first memories were of growing up in a loving white foster family, before she was suddenly taken away and returned to her Aboriginal family.

Decades later, she feels disconnected from both halves of her life. But the traumas of her past do not lie quietly buried. So, she goes searching for the foster family with whom she had lost all contact.

Along the way she uncovers long-buried secrets, government lies, and the possibility for deeper connections to family and culture. The Last Daughter is a powerful and inspiring documentary about Brenda’s journey to unearth the truth in her past, and reconcile the two sides of her family.
