In The Last Daughter Brenda and her family model for us what we can achieve if we pursue love with grace. Days after watching the film I find myself thinking about the power of love, and the gentle, strong, clear example of leadership Brenda embodies as she leads us through her journey of injustice at the hands of the Australian Government, balanced with the values her parents have taught her. Not only am I transformed by her grace and strength, I've learnt about the layers of abuse inflicted on Aboriginal families in the 1960's and 70's which has contributed to my understanding of the complexity of what it will take to continue to fully heal our nation. Thank you to Brenda, her family, and to the film makers who have shared this story with skill and purpose.
