This is an awesome video and is terrific journalism. Keep up the great work and I hope to see more videos soon.

Really great presentation, Good subject; it should have been on TV long ago highlighting this great race of peaceful people and the problems that they encounter interacting with a careless and negligent government...

Very good work. Having lived in Australia for 2 years (1969-1970), I am familiar with the subject. I have a great deal of respect for the "abos" and admire their fortitude and love of the earth.

A good reminder of what has happened, and is happening.

I just finished Bill Bryson''s book "In A Sunburned Country," and in one of the chapters he briefly touches on this subject. I was thrilled to see this pod, since Mr. Bryson even states in his book that "these people need a voice." Great job! I want to see a feature length documentary on this.

This is such a wonderful video! I had no idea about the social struggles of Australia''s native people. Hopefully they''ll get to build the things the want to build on their land.

Stories about Australia's Stolen Generation, like the one in this pod, are unbelievably heartbreaking.
-
Wikipedia's very informative article on the "stolen generation".

Australian aborigines are discriminated against to a horrific degree. THAT is what this video should be about.
People who are equally respected don't have problems choosing whether or not to assimilate.
Australians are much worse than Americans when it comes to discrimination and hatred of their minorities.

I remember watching "Rabbit Proof Fence," a movie about two aboriginal girls taken from their mother. That movie was bittersweet.

Once again, Current shows the Media what having a social conscience really means. Brilliant work.

What an amazing pod! How horrible, I never knew that Austraila's native people had such struggles. Thank you for bringing the "Stolen Generation" to my attention.

What a heartbreaking, but honest look at the realities of some of today’s Australian Aborigines. I was aware that they had faced some hardships, but I didn’t know to this extent. Thanks for opening my eyes with their stories, and showing that success is possible. I’m from Canada where we see many of the same difficulties among our native populations. Your beautifully shot Pod, along with the wonderful central characters, shows that with the right attitude and some hard work, positive change is possible.

Quite touching. Horrid how such overt racism is still going on, and against people in their own homeland (Native americans, aboriginals). We are a sick lot.

This pod is great. It is beautifully shot, and it conveys the importance of righting this injustice against Australia's Aborigines. I especially liked the part about the gym that takes young people off the streets, and the boxer who acts as an inspirational figure to them. Wonderful pod on a necessary topic.
