Watched this film not knowing what it was about, wow I'm so glad I pressed play.... SO moving and heartbreaking what all these families went through. Still wasn't all that long ago. It truely Breaks my heart what these families went through, could not imagine if that happened to me and my family, of course it wouldn't though as I'm white! Loved the documentary, had many tears.l throughout the whole film. Everyone needs to watch this film. I learnt so much about what happened that I didn't know. It has opened my eyes. Imagine being a young child and being taken from your family, not once but twice. Just horrible.

Wow
Thank you for sharing your story
Enjoyed listening to your story and so sorry you went through all of this but wow what a wonderful ending. Your ability to see your story from both sides is so heart warming. I so wish more people could come together like you have brought your families together.
It is hard to comprehend what happened to you and so many others but the way you told your story was a wonderful insight into what actually happened and it's important these stories are told. It's also equally important like you say that they stay a part of history and we move forward. You tell your story and articulate your message so well.
I'm so glad you found peace. Keep smiling and thank you for sharing.
The Last Daughter
This is the most incredible movie or documentary about two families who loved one daughter. Brenda and her brothers and sisters were taken from their parents when she was only 2 years old and the family she went to were told that she was neglected and they could eventually adopt her . She fitted into her white family so well and she was loved by everyone, her white mum & dad , her brothers , sister , grandmothers , cousins, aunties and uncles, everyone just loved her , but it was all lies . She wasn't neglected at all she was taken from a loving home and her parents were fighting to get all of their children back which eventually happened and Brenda was the last daughter to return. Although this was a happy ending for her black family, her white family were torn apart. They were lied to and after loving Brenda for over 5 years she was then taken from them . Thankfully Brenda never forgot her white family and many many years later they are reunited and not just Brenda but her black family and her white family reunite together It is heartbreaking and heart warming. A MUST SEE !!!!
