thieves in our home
This Film is a historical document, a statement of the life of an aboriginal woman.
It is also an attempt to help her not to have to tell her story again and again
– and not to revive the associated traumatising atrocities
– every time
– she is telling the story
– for the rest of her life.
Trying to build a Bridge between segregating aspects and categorism of modern society, addressing the unifying emotion of motherhood & empowering to stand up for independency, this film should immediately lead to the point where the question arises – why – this systematic cruelty of separated families and removed children is a still ongoing issue in 2018 – and how long this might continue – if not addressed and changed now. The artistic experiment – the use of art as a medium of communicating political issues, but also to address and change these serious deficiencies – but also to use the art form of a film itself with a tight close up, is to be seen as an attempt to create an intimate dialogue, an invitation to understand, to induce change towards a respectful coexistence of all people – all over the world.
This is for the great grandmothers,
the grand mothers,
the mothers,
the children,
the grandchildren,
the great grandchildren
and to those whom the world does ́nt only mean just a dollar...
