In New South Wales, the “Aborigenes Protection Board” undertook in 1909 to break up Aborigenes communities by taking away the children and sending them as servants to white families. Based on archive documents and eye-witness reports, the film shows the Aborigenes situation as one similar to slavery, and analyses their progressive realization, which as from 1930 led to on organized struggle for their rights.
