Synopsis

Unfinished Business is a short film that chronicles the consequences of giving away an Aboriginal child, and how it impacts on the grown child, his white mother and Aboriginal father. It spears at the heart of similar issues tied up with the Stolen Generations.

Unfinished Business follows two stories concurrently. Sean, whose father is Aboriginal, is determined to find his white mother despite the discouragement of Jeremy, a social worker.

At the same time we see the unfolding of Jeremy's mother's life as a young girl who, while growing up in a small country town, has a clandestine relationship with an Aboriginal man.

Thanks to Yaja Nowakowski for bringing this film to my attention.
