Always Watching is more than a documentary—it is a living archive and a national healing instrument. Through raw and unflinching testimonies from Stolen Generations survivors, this film transforms personal truth-telling into collective wisdom, offering Australian society an unprecedented tool for understanding the enduring impacts of forced child removal policies.
More than historical record, it is a sacred space for survivor families seeking validation and connection, a catalyst for community dialogue, a reconciliation framework for corporations and government agencies, and an educational resource for schools and universities. Each testimony becomes a gift to the nation—an invitation to witness resilience, confront uncomfortable truths, and participate in the ongoing work of healing.
Always Watching extends an open invitation to all Australians to be part of the journey toward justice, reconciliation, and a shared future built on truth. We invite you to host a screening today.

Pre-screening: Acknowledgment of Country (5-10 min)
Film screening: 68 minutes
Post-screening: Facilitated Q&A (30-60 min)
Connection to support services
Plan for approximately 2 hours for the full experience.
A Q&A session with a trained facilitator is the best way of ensuring a powerful and healing experience for all attendees. Post-screening dialogue allows emotional processing, community connection, questions about Stolen Generations, pathways to action, and direct Link-Up NSW connection.
We can help connect hosts with facilitators.
