50 Years Of Silence
The film spans five generations, from my mother's colonial life in Java, recorded on old home movies, through the war, to a new start in England as a young bride, and our family migration to Australia in 1960. It shows how one woman's testimony changed recorded history and became an inspiration to others. It was awarded Best Documentry at the AFI Awards, and a Logie Award for Best Documentary.
