GENOCIDE IN THE WILDFLOWER STATE describes a violent, state-run system of eugenics, racial absorption, and social assimilation in 20th century Western Australia. For more than six decades between 1905 and 1972, thousands of mixed-race Aboriginal children in Western Australia were forcibly removed from their families. Systematically organised by the State, overwhelmingly supported by West Australian society, generation after generation, for over sixty years — the State worked to destroy Aboriginal families, culture, and language, for the purpose of securing white settler dominance. In 1997, a National Inquiry called this for what it was — Genocide. In this documentary, ‘Stolen Generation’ Survivors give vivid and at times heartbreaking testimony of cruel isolation, abuse and humiliation in the system. Their accounts are supported by evidence from state records, public archives and historical scholarship.
